2018 Grand Oak Pinot Noir
2018 Grand Oak Pinot Noir
ROSE PETAL | LOAM | LINGERING
Fruit for this single vineyard wine comes from Grand Oak vineyard, a lovely site tucked away in one of the Chehalem Mountains’ nested AVAs, the Laurelwood District. Planted to loess soil, we used our absolute favorite barrels for this blend. The wine is composed of blocks 2, 3, and 5—all planted in 2001—and is a blend of clones 667 (69%) and 115 (31%).
TASTING NOTES from WINEMAKER GINA HENNEN
‘‘This is classic Grand Oak, laden with rose petals, boysenberry, and rich loam accents. There’s a sweet, juicy quality to the palate. The fine-grained tannins swoop in to provide structural support, and the finish lingers into tomorrow.’
Appellation: Laurelwood District AVA
Farming: LIVE certified
Composition: 100% Pinot noir
