Pinot Noir, Composition, Willamette Valley, OR, 2021

Located on the edge of the Ribbon Ridge on the south slope of the Chehalem Mountains AVA.
Willakenzie sedimentary soils are present in this section of the AVA. The vineyard sits on a gorgeous
ecosystem, including the livestock of birds, sheep, and a trusty collie. Dry-farmed with biodynamic
preps and no synthetic chemicals, the focus is to regenerate the soil, add native plants and allow
beneficial species to thrive.
The attention to detail in the vineyard is vital for fruit selection and significantly impacts the wine
quality. some outstanding Pinot Noir clones were selected for this wine, and the grapes this year
were harvested on September 9th. The tonnage was split into two tanks; one had 50% of the
whole cluster, and one was 100% destemmed.
