Recommended Wine Pairing
2017 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills
About this wine: All of our vineyards are harvested by hand, with the fruit quickly transported to the winery. Our small batches of Pinot noir allow us to carefully monitor the wine, preserving the unique character from each section of the vineyard. Warm fermentation temperature and pump overs allows us to extract the color, tannin, and spice from the fruit without extracting too much to showcase the softer elegant side on Pinot Noir.
Tasting Notes: This wine showcases cherry and raspberry with earthy notes on the nose. The palate gives flavors of red and blue fruits with savory herbs.
