This is a fresh, vibrant young Pinot reflective of the stellar growing season and a return to a classic, cool Willamette Valley vintage after 5 hot years. The wine is fresh and vibrant, with bright fruit and great underlying structure. Very “old world” style. It has a healthy dose of barrels that would normally be in higher level wines. As usual, a "simple" Willamette Valley bottling that delivers quality and value far exceeding its humble price. Enjoy over the next several years!
