90 Points Vinous
Vivid red. Spice-accented red fruit and floral scents. Weighty yet quite lively for the vintage, offering bitter cherry and red currant flavors that deepen slowly as the wine opens up. Finishes with solid grip, subtle tannins and spicy cut, leaving a suggestion of cherry pit behind.
 
Winemaker Notes
Complex aromas of earthy forest floor and sandalwood mingle with a melange of berries on the nose. These aromas waft from the glass, introducing a sumptuous mouthful with flavors of black cherry, raspberries, dark chocolate, and black pepper on the mid-palate. The finish is supple and salivating with lingering flavors of red fruit and pepper, leaving you wanting another sip. This is a carefully constructed wine produced from select growing sites throughout the Willamette Valley, all of which practice sustainable growing practices and carry Biodynamic® Demeter certification. Fruit for this wine is predominantly in Laurelwood, volcanic and marine sedimentary soils.
