CURRENT VINTAGES
2008 Estate Pinot Noir
The 2008 vintage was outstanding for Oregon Pinot Noir, with a long Indian summer allowing this fruit to hang on the vine long into October. Bright cherry, raspberry and cranberry with pie spices of cinnamon and nutmeg on the nose couple with caramel and butterscotch toast to create mouth watering fruit structure. Great stony minerality and a rich, dark smoke and flint backbone give this wine a lovely, earthy depth. Aged for 17 months in one third new French oak barrels this is a classic rendition of Oregon Pinot Noir.
2009 Pinot Blanc
This unique white wine, made in the traditional Italian Pinot Bianco style, greets your nose with a floral bouquet of honeysuckle and pear blossom while the bright fruit flavors add to the tasting experience and the bright acidity and citrus finish wakes up the palate.
This wine is best enjoyed cold. The mineral, fruit and citrus flavors make it a perfect seafood partner while its crisp acidity pairs well with spicy Asian or Indian food.
2009 Pinot Grigio
Crisp and clean, this wine has wonderful aroma of honeydew melon and is bursting with ripe apple and pear flavors with hints of orange and cedar and lovely minerality. Fermented in stainless steel with no secondary malolactic fermentation, it is made in the Italian Pinot Grigio style traditional of Veneto and Friuli. The balance of freshness and fruit flavor makes this wine a pleasure to drink and a great match with seafood, chicken and Risotto Milanese.
