2021 PINOT NOIR

Nemarniki Vineyard is a picturesque site in the Chehalem Mountains. The vineyard is west facing, with the vine rows terraced in a north to south orientation. The combination of this exposure with the Laurelwood soils creates a wine with distinct floral and dried fruit characteristics. The vineyard is lovingly and meticulously farmed by grower Diane Nemarnik.
