Appellation:  Columbia Gorge, Oregon

This intriguingly rustic Pinot pours a deep strawberry-brick hue and delivers a dense, meaty expression with a wild edge. Aromas of black raspberry, strawberry compote, and flamboyant dark spices meet intriguing burnished leather and forest-floor nuances.

From the winemaker:  “While other Pinot Noir based wines that we make tend to be made as ephemeral, delicate infusions, this is closer to a traditionally styled wine. This feels closest to a Gevrey-Chambertin from an old-fashioned producer like Alain Burguet or Joseph Roty. This wine is extremely dense and meaty without losing any sense of varietal purity.”
