2022 Pinot Noir, La Belle Promenade Vineyard, Chehalem Mountains
Unique, exotic, and luxurious. Italian blue plums, red cherries, crushed roses, and wet gravel are accented by aromas of iron, blood orange zest, white truffle shavings, and cinnamon. On the palate, this wine has bright acidity and fine tannins with a long and delicious finish.
