This Willamette Valley bottling is comprised of 12 different sites from throughout the valley. This is the focus of her Pinot program, says winemaker Kate Ayres. It shows the classic signature of the region: red berries, blood orange, and gorgeous florals on the nose. The palate is sleek and composed. There is an elegance through the fruit-first fore palate with ample wild spices and savoury mint leaf that brings a beautiful finish.

Aromas of blackberries, sarsaparilla, fresh plums and flowers. The palate is mid-weighted with firmly framed tannins and balanced acidity. Nicely constructed. Drink or hold.
