By Michael Cervin, Loren Sonkin| Into Wine@ Having tasted this wine for many vintages, it is clear the vines and fruit are improving with age. Typical of Willamette Valley and the surrounding regions, there is an earthy quality to the Pinot grown here. This offers light raspberry, cranberry and lingonberry, which works with delicate strawberry, wildflowers and herbal notes. The acidity is spot on, holding the wine in check as a food friendly companion, while the tannins provide structure.
By Michael Cervin, Loren Sonkin| Into Wine@ This is a very restrained wine, one where the fruit is evident, but also the earthiness of the volcanic soils and a deep minerality running through the wine make themselves known. It is also a very tactile wine. Using concrete as a tool is known to add a level of viscosity to a wine and that is undeniable here. Comprised of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, there is 34% Merlot added in. The wine was fermented in three different ways - oak barrels, stainless steel tanks and concrete eggs.
