A dark substantial version of Willamette Valley pinot noir, with juicy finishing acidity, balanced tannins and a hint of oak. Earth and spice on the nose and dark berry character rounds out the palate. The multiple clones grown in the volcanic soils of small Chehalem Mountains and Eola Hills vineyards bring pleasing complexity.

The grapes were destemmed to small fermenters and punched down by hand. Most fermenters were pressed at dryness. No racking was necessary, with the wine aging sur lie and aged in French oak for 10 months.
