The Wine

The nose is delicate, expressing white flowers, white pepper, apricot, honeysuckle, flint and a hint of light brioche. The mouthfeel has citrus notes balanced with lemon curd and slate. The texture is bright yet creamy, calling to mind fresh, lemon crème brûlée. The finish is clean, refreshing and lengthy.

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.
