Portlandia Pinot Noir 2021
Bright aromas of ripe strawberry and raspberry open on the nose along with a hint of cedar. Vibrant flavors of red cherry and cranberry follow, accompanied by accents of black tea and thyme, with a dash of pink peppercorn. Fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity provide structure and balance through the lingering finish.
We hand selected lots from several sources throughout Oregon’s cooler wine growing regions including 5% from the historic Hyland Vineyard in McMinnville, and 3% from Dundee Hills. After crush, we cold-fermented in open-top vats using hand punch downs and then aged for 10 months in 20% new French oak.
Aged for ten months in a combination of French and American oak. Enjoy now or hold for 3-5 years
