Winemaker, Jacques Tardy has blended three highly regarded vineyard sites within the Chehalem Mountains AVA (Alloro, Hoy, and Nemarniki) to create this beatuiful expression of Pinot noir. This wine was aged for 16 months in almost 12% new French oak, resulting in forward aromas of sweet florals, light fruit and a hint of oak toast. The palate displays a brightness of blueberry and blackberry flavors, again surrounded by a touch of toastiness. The rich structure and bright acidity of this wine results in a lengthy finish of sweet oak tannins and dark berry flavors. Enjoy this wine now with some decanting or cellar fof 6-8 years.
