Linn Gap Vineyard in Willamette Valley AVA. It is a mix of Loess and Marine sediment.

Aged in stainless steel with 10% New French Oak - Boise Oak for 7 months.

This wine is produced from a vineyard that gives us textural, fruit driven Pinot noir. Our goal is to preserve the purity of the grapes and use gentle extraction to build a bit of silky structure. Ageing on oak adds a hit of sweetness, spice and fine tannins.

Mechanically harvested in early October.

The 2024 growing season benefited from consistent summer sunshine and a beautifully timed dry stretch leading into harvest, developing standout concentration and optimal fruit ripeness. Highly expressive and forward on the nose, dominated by vibrant aromas of fresh red cherry, wild strawberry, and wild cranberry, layered over subtler hints of dried rose petals and cardamom spice. Juicy and soft on the entry with generous flavors of red currant, cherry cola, and pomegranate juice on the palate. Smooth, structured, and texturally complex finish, leaving a lingering trail of warm baking spices and fine, integrated tannins.

Stainless steel, peal temp 85F, no fining, 100% Malolactic.
