Vineyard Notes
The Willamette Valley is Oregon’s most recognized appellation for cool climate wines, and it is in the Northern part of this Valley where the finest vineyards are found. Wines with the Estates designation showcase the diversity of our cru-quality vineyard sites. Although this series may feature grapes from any of our Estate Vineyards, the third edition of the Brut Reserve specifically uses fruit from our flagship Biodynamic farm, Mineral Springs Vineyard, in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, and from the certified Biodynamic Tarren Vineyard, situated on a pristine slope in the Eola-Amity Hills.
Tasting Notes
The fourth edition of our Brut Reserve marries traditional Champagne techniques with an Oregon sensibility. This multi-vintage, multi-variety, multi-vineyard cuvée blends 62% 2020 fruit with 38% reserve wines drawn from select barrels across multiple vintages. The 2020 vintage yielded pristine fruit, all harvested ahead of the wildfires. The result is a naturally expressive wine with remarkable fullness and an ultra-low dosage. Flavors of green apple and ripe citrus mingle with notes of white peach, toasted almond, and a whisper of biscuit. Aromas of green fig lend a verdant lift, while sea salt and honeysuckle grace the long, elegant finish—complex and expressive, yet effortlessly poised.
