Pinot Noir, Elysian Fields Vineyard

Pinot Noir, Elysian Fields Vineyard Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: Pinot Noir is a wine that suffers wonderfully from terroir, a combination of the location of the vineyard, soil type, exposure to sun, slope, elevation and the clones of Pinot used as the fruiting part of the plant. Elysian Fields is our first vineyard-designate released. This is a blend between two different pinot noir clones, 777 and 115. The vineyard is located NW of Yamhill in the foothills of the Coast Range. The site is cooler with a SE exposure allowing the fruit to hang longer and create a very fruit forward wine. This wine has a big black fruit nose with lots of black cherry on the pallet with a long finish. Only 58 cases were produced and this wine is only available at the winery.
