DescriptionTasting NotesAccoladesQty Discounts

Amalie’s Cuvée is an exclusive barrel selection of Pinot Noir representing the unique qualities of our vineyard. Every block within our 35 acre vineyard is individually hand harvested at its peak of flavor maturity and intensity. Block by block, the fruit is fermented by indigenous yeast in small 1.5 ton lots and matured for over 18 months in French oak barrels.

Every vineyard block and clone/rootstock combination showcases something unique and special from the vineyard. After fermentation is complete, the wine is placed into a selection of barrels to mature. We source French oak barrels from several coopers. The wine takes a different path to maturity in each barrel, developing its own nuances. Our use of whole clusters in each fermentation provides a continuously evolving tasting experience.

We taste all of our barrels of wine many times throughout the year. We experience the evolution of flavors and aromas and remember the significant events in our vineyard. The excitement of an early bloom, the mystery of a very light fruit set, the discovery of color change at veraison and the rapture of harvest. Tasting each barrel of wine provides us a snapshot in time. We experience the wine’s development.

Again this year, we selected the barrels of wine that offered supple elegance and presence. After repeated trials, a very special and familiar blend began to emerge. From year to year, we strive to reveal the elegance and grace of Oregon Pinot Noir. Amalie’s Cuvée is this blend.

Tasting Notes: Amalie’s Cuvée showcases the elegance and finesse of our vineyard. Dena looks for barrels that offer complexity and intriguing nuances with layers of fruit and texture. This wine’s allure is in its seductive enchantment. “The Cuvée”

Amalie Robert red. Enchanting and seductive vacillate as scents of crimson rose, dark cherry, spice and cocoa emerge. A well endowed mid palate presence provides ample fruit and spice while being well supported by graceful tannins and tantalizing acidity. Unfined and unfiltered.

Culinary Inclinations: Seared and then oven roasted duck breast alongside garlic sautéed broccolini, pan fried polenta cakes and mini potato pancakes with plum sauce.

2014 Amalie's Cuvée Pinot Noir

Shimmering red. Ripe red fruits, star anise, potpourri and a hint of smokiness on the highly fragrant nose. Offers energetic raspberry and redcurrant flavors that are braced by a spine of tangy acidity and a hint of refreshingly bitter blood orange. Sappy, penetrating and sharply delineated, with an echo of peppery spices enlivening the impressively long, gently tannic, red berry-accented finish. (all neutral French oak)
