Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2013 “La Cuillère” (the Spoon) has an aroma of dark cherries and blackberries with a touch of black pepper. The flavors are sweet, rich and thick (a wine you could drink with a spoon), with rich dark cherries and blackberries notes and a noticeable black pepper spiciness.
Vineyard Notes
The “La Cuillere” is comprised of five vineyards. Alloro Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains accounts for about 42%, Olalla Vineyard in the Umpqua Valley and Bella Vida Vineyard account for about 21% each, Winkler Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA accounts for 10%, and Varga Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills for 5%. The blend is comprised of Dijon clones from Alloro, Bella Vida, Winkler, and Varga Vineyards and Pommard clones from Alloro and Olalla Vineyards.
Production Notes
The wine fermented in 1.5 ton fermenters for about two weeks without cold soak, then aged for 22 months in French oak: 21.05% new French oak and the rest neutral. The barrels were racked in May then again in August when the blend was put together before returning to barrels until bottling.
