2017 Pinot Noir

Amaterra

Willamette Valley

A classic Oregon Pinot Noir. An intentional range of soils, aspects, and clones of Pinot Noir contributes to a balance that only an artful combination of vineyard sites can create. Extended cold soaks, moderate amounts of whole clusters, and patience along the process create wines of terroir. The complexity is further enhanced through a year of barrel-aging before the final wine is assembled. Characteristic cherry and spice aromas with a silky texture and structure create an age-worthy cuvée.
