2021 Pinot Noir, Prime Cut, Willamette Valley
2021 Pinot Noir, Prime Cut, Willamette Valley
Our favorite barrels of the 2021 vintage selected for richness and texture.
Very pretty and elegant aromas of Mt Hood strawberries, Bing cherries, blackberry bramble, lavender haze, and Earl Grey tea are accented by red rose petal, allspice, star anise, graphite minerality, and Dixon Ticonderoga #2 pencil shavings. Full of energy with a long finish, this wine is built to age.
