A guest appearance by Wind Ridge Vineyard out of the Ribbon Ridge AVA enhances the complexity of the 2018 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. The typical all red fruit is matched by darker elements from the sedimentary soils leading to a broader Pinot experience...never a bad thing! The color is penetrating garnet…crystalline and bold. Graphite, citrus, anise and mushroom round out the nose which is primarily fixed on ripe red cherry. The mouth is high intensity and mouth-watering. Subtle tannin supports a soft and inviting mouthfeel highlighted by ripe cherry again as well as floral accents. This is a complete wine…dark and light, elegant and powerful.
