Wine Info
THE WINE
The nose is lush with floral notes of rose, leather, orange blossom, tobacco and chutney. The mouthfeel is round with vanilla bean elements intertwined with complex red and blue fruits. The finish is sweet and juicy with hints of cola.
THE AVA
The ancient marine sedimentary soils of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA are some of the oldest in the Willamette Valley. Originally the final destination for the early Oregon Trail pioneers,the district is fast becoming one of the best known Pinot Noir producing areas. The well-drained soils prevent excessive vine growth and result in mouth-filling wines with broad, silky tannins.
