Description:
The 2001 vintage was wonderful in Oregon. Normal flowering in late June, was followed by warm dry weather that continued until the end of harvest in October. Select lots of prime Willamette Valley Pinot Noir grapes were chosen to be fermented in small vessels with a high percentage of berries remaining whole. After fermentation the young wine was gently pressed into new one, two and three-year old French oak barrels for twelve months of aging. The best barrels were then selected and blended together for this cuvee.
Firesteed Willamette Valley Pinot Noir has aromas of chocolate truffles and warm cherry pie. Rich, mouth-filling flavors of coffee and cocoa with hints of toasted almonds and strawberry preserves. The wine has smooth, silky tannins with a broad finish
