Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2013 Dundee Hills Select is a forward, full wine with plenty of dark fruits and raisin notes. Earthiness and a bright acidity add body and texture. A long, juicy finish makes the wine very food friendly. Drink now after decanting or wait a year for the wine to grow up.
Vineyard Notes
The Dundee Hills AVA soils are volcanic, iron rich Jory soils. They drain well and hold plenty of water for the growing season. The Dundee Hills Select Pinot Noir features grapes from three vineyards in the Dundee Hills AVA. Bella Vida Vineyard contributed 45%, La Colina Vineyard contributed 36%, and Torii Mor’s Olson Estate contributed 18%.
Production Notes
The grapes were harvested on October 1st and 2nd, then fermented. After about two weeks the grapes were pressed. The wine was aged in 27% one year old French oak, and the rest in neutral French oak, for sixteen months.
