Description:
Umpqua Valley pinot noir This is our top flight pinot and it is composed of a selection of our best fruit from the vintage. Primarily 114 clone pinot and a bit of pommard, both from the Red Hill Vineyard. From the beginning the 114 showed itself to be a very exceptional lot. As with all of our pinots the grapes are gently destemmed to open top 1 ton fermenters, hand punched down 2 to 3 times daily, gently pressed and barreled the following day. The wines are racked once in the spring following malolactic fermentation and bottled without fining or filtration. The color is a medium dark ruby with purple edges. The aromas are dark ripe cherries with blackberry perfume and a floral bouquet of violets with well integrated sweet caramel oak. The flavors explode with cherry, berry, and tarry butterscotch with clove spiciness. The ripe tannins are well integrated with smooth oak creaminess. The body is medium with a very long finish.
