Wine Details
Price:
$34.00 per bottle
Description:
A blend of older vines (20+ years) from the Elton and Durant Vineyards, our 2004 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir marries the best aspects of the Eola and Dundee Hills respectively. With less than 1.5 tons per acre in both volcanic-soiled vineyard sites, this wine showcases what the iron rich soils of the Northern Willamette Valley can produce in great years! Ripe and dark raspberry and marionberry aromas explode from the glass with hints of violets and an incense-like palate of spicy oak tones including cinnamon, clove and vanilla. The pallet is generous and ample with a sweet attack of lush black cherry liqueur, coffee and tobacco with smoky fine-grained tannins lending to the long and impressive finish. This wine was aged in 30% new French Oak (Francois Freres and Tonnellerie Mercurey Coopers) and 70% one-year old French Oak barrels (Francois Freres and Rousseau Coopers) for 12 months before bottling with a light and gentle polishing filtration.
