Price:
$40.00 per bottle
Description:
Good weather conditions, and even more importantly, superb vineyard locations provide the potential for world-class grapes. Add a proven winemaking style and experience and you have wines with elegance, complexity, texture, and structure. This wine has all these hallmarks. A blend of our "Terroir Series" — Lange Estate, the Yamhill Vineyards, and the Freedom Hill Vineyards — this wine is a combination of the most distinctive and proven wine regions in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Like all of our Pinot Noirs, these grapes were hand-picked, hand-sorted, fermented in 1.5 ton vessels and then punched down by hand daily. This process helps to keep a high skin-to-juice ratio, thus giving our wines rich and even extraction of flavors and color. In French oak for eighteen months, this wonderfully complex and elegant wine showcases the best Oregon has to offer for Pinot Noir in 2004: dark and lush blackberry fruits, bright Indian spices and chocolate, all supported by a firm but approachable acid and tannin backbone. This 2004 is drinking very nicely upon release but also has the required structure and balance for cellaring up to a decade or more. Enjoy this brand new release!
