The VintageVintage 2022 was a classic Oregon vintage. A little late, somewhat nerve wracking and not too hot. We are seeing elegance, perfume and finesse as the key attributes in our wines. Except the Syrah which is STILL fermenting, but smells lovely. You can read the vintage
2022 Harvest After Action report on Substack, for free! The VinesAt less than an acre, our Pinot Meunier planting is one of the smallest in our 35 acre vineyard. As the vines age, coming on 20+ years now, their root systems have fully explored the upper soil profile and gone deep. That is when the wines start to become a little bit more interesting.
The WineMost notably a Champagne blending component along with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier offers a unique aroma and flavor profile as a red wine. Lighter bodied than Pinot Noir, the tell-tale aromas are elegant red raspberry over rose petals. But don’t let the playful nature of this wine get past you. With firm acidity and fine-grained tannins, Pinot Meunier is the go-to wine for charcuterie and a host of other tantalizing culinary inclinations. You can check out our past vintage notes here.
