Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2013 Nysa has fresh and floral notes of roses and honeysuckle, with ripe, fruity notes of raspberry and boysenberry. The flavors are carried with a semi-sweet mouthfeel, with a strong fruit core and moderate acidity, with slightly herbal, spicy notes in the aftertaste. There are refined tannins in the wine that bring out its power and strength. The 2013 Nysa can be enjoyed now, with or without decanting, but will also benefit from a few years of bottle aging.
Vineyard Notes
Nysa Vineyard is located in the Dundee Hills AVA in the Willamette Valley. The mid-elevation of just over 600 feet, combined with the rich red Jory soil and its southeastern exposure, make Nysa a remarkable sight. A total of thirty-three acres are cultivated each year of Pommard, Dijon, and Wadenswil Pinot Noir clones.
Production Notes
We harvested Nysa Vineyard October 3rd and 4th. The grapes were fermented for 15 days and aged in French oak, with 25% in new oak, 6% two-year-old oak, and the rest in neutral oak for 22 months. This single vineyard is 100% Pommard clone.
