Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Josh Raynolds
Brilliant red. A highly perfumed, nuanced bouquet evokes ripe, mineral-tinged red fruit, mocha, candied flowers and incense. Silky and seamless on the palate, showing impressive density as well as energy to the sweet raspberry, cherry and spicecake flavors. The floral notes comes back strong on an impressively persistent, gently tannic finish that leaves suave Asian spice and red fruit preserve notes behind.

About the Producer
Nicolas Méo and music entrepreneur Jay Boberg were drawn to the heart of Oregon wine country by their shared love of Pinot Noir and a desire to create wines that last. North Willamette Valley. The winery's viticulture and winemaking have benefited from years of working the soil in Burgundy's grand cru vineyards, and they have brought this understanding to their old vineyards in Oregon, including the winery's own organically grown estates, vineyards, and their 53 acre Dundee Hill estate. "We approach our winemaking with an unwavering belief in true craftsmanship, a passion for discovery and a deep respect for the land. We bring our Burgundian heritage to our winemaking while aiming to express Oregon's Willamette Valley natural elegance. As stewards of the land and passionate tasters, we strive to discover and reflect the unique terroir of our wines. Sharing our results makes it meaningful. "
