This year with its nice warm fall, coupled with our gentle and long native ferments, produced a delicious, elegant wine. The nose has strawberry, blackberry and rose garden aromatics with a velvety tannin structure and racy acidity. The Willamette Valley will pair with your food throughout the winter and spring (and for years to come). The wine was 20% whole cluster and was aged in 10% new oak.
