2012 North Valley McMinnville Pinot Noir
In Stock
Vineyard Notes
This bottling represents vineyard sources exclusively from within the McMinnville AVA. Made in very limited
quantities, these “Origins” series wines are reflections of the personality-driven, regional characteristics from
which they hail. This is the most westerly part of the northern Willamette Valley, dramatically positioned in
the cooler climate foothills of the Coast Range. Here the soils are uplifted marine sediments layered over
eroded basalt. Dark black fruits dominate the aromas, with slightly animal character, earth, clay, dark
chocolate and subtle, sweet cassis overtones. Completely mouth-filling and saturating on the palate,
displaying the dark fruit and cassis profile, with more spice and earth, tannins and acid both noteworthy as
structural components, but never drying or out of balance. Powerful and long on the finish with hints of
vanilla bean as is lingers long, built for aging.
Tasting Notes
“Vibrant purple plum and blackberry flavors
play against grippy tannins in this sleek,
open-textured and refined Pinot. The elements
come together seamlessly on the firm finish.
Best from 2016 through 2022.”
