Celilo Vineyard Pinot Noir

Celilo Vineyard Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: We first became acquainted with Rick Ensminger, the Vineyard Manager for Celilo Vineyard in 1997. We were well aware of the reputation of both the Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer produced from this vineyard, however we had never known that there was also Pinot noir planted on the western edge of the vineyard. We acquired Pinot noir from Rick in 1999 for the first time. This wine shows the beautiful perfume for which Celilo Vineyard has become justifiably famous. The nose opens with a burst of cherry and hints of forest floor and mushrooms. Flavors lead staight into cherries strawberries and finish with a silky texture. A suprising wine, bequiling, and introspective. But shoot, that's Pinot.
