Vintage
The 2017 crop is described by many winemakers as a classic, especially for the hallmark Pinot Noir wines. Unlike the previous three vintages, temperatures were more moderate in 2017, and due to a late start to bud break and flowering, the season saw an extended harvest take place under near-perfect weather conditions. Initial results suggest that 2017 in Oregon should fall somewhere on the spectrum between the warmer recent vintages and the cooler years that had defined Willamette since the early days.
Tasting notes
Vivid raspberry, pomegranate and rose petal aromas lead to supple and well-built flavors that build richness and vibrancy on a lingering finish. Drink now through 2026. Only 600 cases made.
