Sunday, May 24, 2009 - 2009 Memorial Day Tasting; 5/24/2009-5/25/2009 (Willamette Valley, Oregon): Their notes: Certified organically grown. 105 cases produced.
"We were somewhat suprised by the depth and richness we attained in the cool 2007 vintage, something we attribute to a small crop which allowed optimal ripeness. This bottling is an even blend of Dijon clones 76 & 96 (with a small amount of clone 95). It is barrel fermented in French oak (20% new) with frquent lees-stirring, aged for 18 months, and bottled without filtration. As our vines have matured, this bottling has become increasingly consistent in its 'terroir' flavors of subtle vanilla, minerals and grilled nuts. As is typical of our style, this wine has a creamy texture, yet a crisp acidity in an elegant medium-bodied frame."
My notes - 'neutral' barreling - not too oaky. Nice texture.
