The wine gives way to flavors of pomegranate, red currant, and spice. This vineyard yields a bigger Pinot Noir that delivers a mouthfeel of dominant fruit component up front with nice acidity, beautifully balanced, soft tannin and quick finish. This field blend of Pinot Noir spent its first nine months in a combination of a 2 year-old French oak and neutral half barrel before wrapping up its second year in 4 year-old French oak plus one year old French oak half barrel. 36 cases produced | Tressler Vineyard | Willamette Valley, Chehalem Mountains AVA Italian Varietals & Blends 2017 Columbia Valley Sangiovese ($34) As you swirl you’ll see the beautiful dark, deep ruby color and pick up the aroma of dill, lavender, floral, elderberry, and yes, bacon fat.
