UNITED STATES : OREGON : ROUGE VALLEY AVA
Cabernet Franc
MED-BODIED, DRIED CHERRY, RHUBARB, BROWN SUGAR, STONE, NEUTRAL OAK
The Rogue Valley AVA in southern Oregon is what they call a “Goldilocks zone” in terms of producing (some of the best) Cabernet Franc (in the world) — warm enough to get grapes ripe, but cool enough to keep sugar levels low and allow the individual winemaker to create their desired style. Spontaneously fermented; 100% whole cluster; aged in neutral French oak for 8 months; incredibly complex & lacking in nothing.

OREGON : WILLAMETTE VALLEY
Pinot Noir
MED-BODIED, STRAWBERRY, BLACKBERRY, WET STONE, CLOVE, VANILLA, NEW OAK
This soft, somewhat brooding expression of Willamette Pinot Noir comes from the Four Winds vineyard in the McMinnville Coast Range. Planted in 1990 with Pommard clone Pinot Noir, the high elevation and uniquely shallow volcanic soils here result in lean, fresh, and acid-driven wines with distinct mineral tones and rich berry fruit.
