Price:
$30.00 per bottle
Description:
Another Silky Treasure Patton Valley Pinot's are made to show the supple character and silky texture of the variety. The challenge in 2003 was to avoid the over extraction and tannin imbalances seen in some Oregon wines from this very hot and dry growing season. Thankfully, our Laurelwood soils helped us beat the heat and allowed us to make an elegant and luscious wine, our most complex Patton Valley to date.On the nose, black cherries, raspberries, and dark chocolate with a touch of “Patton Valley†spice. In the mouth, the soft feel of rose petals, dark fruits and truffles. There is a persistent and well framed texture of ripe fruit and restrained oak. More forward fruitiness than the 2001 with more structure than the very opulent 2002. The finish echoes the lush, red fruits with impressive length and a soft reminder of its sense of place. Drinking surprising well now, this wine has the guts to develop into 2010 and beyond. $30, 1270 cases produced.
