2019 PINOT NOIR
AMATERRA
NEMARNIKI VINEYARD
CHEHALEM MOUNTAINS AVA
WILLAMETTE VALLEY, OREGON
Nemarniki Vineyard is a picturesque site in the Chehalem Mountains. A chance meeting occurred while winemaker Matt Vuylsteke rode his bicycle by the vineyard and met grower Diane Nemarnik. A long conversation led to many years of working together and a great friendship. Aromas dance between berry and cola in this concentrated style of Pinot Noir, which was built to age gracefully.
