Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2013 Alloro Pinot Noir aroma started with red berries and carries on to darker cherries and earthy tones. The flavors are a mix of red and dark cherries over earthy complexity. The texture is medium sweet with notes of tannins from mid to end. The multilayered finish is long, with dark fruit notes. The wine can be enjoyed now with food and decanting and will also benefit from cellaring.
Vineyard Notes
Alloro Vineyard has been featured in our wines for many years, including our Deux Verres Reserve and our Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Alloro is located in the Chehalem Mountains, in the Laurel Ridge section. The twenty acre, southwest facing vineyard was planted in 1999 with Pinot Noir.
Production Notes
The pinot noir was harvested on September 27, and fermented for fourteen days without a cold soak. The wine was inoculated with RB2 and NAD21 yeasts. The wine was aged for sixteen months in 18% new French oak, 9% two year old oak, and the rest neutral French oak. The barrels were racked in May, then the wine was blended before being racked again in July in neutral barrels and then bottled.
