Opening with aromas of ripe strawberry, red cherry, and raspberry, the fruit elements are complemented with light floral aromatics. The vibrant red fruit flavors continue across the palate, with interest and complexity provided by layers of forest floor, spice and toasty oak. Supple tannins and balanced acidity provide an elegant frame for the rich ripe fruit of this classical Oregon Pinot Noir. A combination of barrel and stainless steel fermentation is used to preserve the maximum fruit intensity. The wine was finished unfined with only rough filtration, resulting in a Pinot Noir with intense fruit and smooth tannins.
