  Tasted at the “in town” tasting room in Dundee, OR which is a useful experience as this winery is rather complex to fully understand with its multiple winemakers and unique but varied “terroir” and history. I can’t do a lot of justice to that here but I would recommend it for a good understanding for what their wines are all about. This wine was the result of 2 barrels of production with a mix of Cote Est and Merci, 50% new oak for 15 months, native yeast start but also inoculated. 14.1% ABV. Medium to dark Ruby color. Definitely more oak derived aromatics yet also decent purity of fruit with mostly cherry notes. Earthy with baking spice and a nice chewy texture. Moderately long finish. Drinking quite well now.
