The 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a blend made to capture the freshness of the vintage. To achieve this, barrels were selected roughly halfway through our more standard 15 months of barrel aging and bottled early so we could preserve the bright fruit character. Additionally, second year oak barrels were preferentially selected to achieve pleasant oak nuances while not overpowering the blend. The resulting wine is thus modestly oaked and fruit focused.
