From: Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Varietals: 83% Pinot Noir, 13% Pinot Meunier, 4% Pinot Gris
Tasting Notes: The fermentation methods used for this wine yield a vibrant, bright red fruit profile with high-toned aromas of tart cherry, cran-raspberry and lilacs. There is a beguiling secondary complexity in the form of black pepper and mossy, mushroomy, forest floor, a reflection of the significant proportion of Pinot Meunier in the blend. Candied violets pop in the glass, and persistent acidity and racy red fruits define the flavor profile, but again the Meunier keeps everything balanced with a slight earthy, volcanic streak on the mid-palate. A crisp and refreshing finish brings you back to the glass again and again. Dangerously drinkable is the most appropriate description of this wine.
Pairing: This unique take on an Oregon Pinot Noir has a body and fruit profile that is so food-friendly. It works well with light fare, like nuts, charcuterie, cheese, and canapés, or a variety of meals: pizza, roasted vegetables, chicken, or even a casserole.
