November 20, 2021 - “This wine is a blend of 3 different vineyards located in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The grapes were fermented with native yeast and 100% whole clusters then aged on its lees for 11 months in 20% new French oak barrels. This Winemaker’s Cuvée is the result of a meticulous selection of the best barrels in the cellar based on harmony, complexity and mouth feel.”

Ruby color with some translucence.
Nose dense dark fruit with some forest notes.
Palate initially some vanilla oak, then nice black cherry with some flesh, a mineral rocky backbone.
Substantive, could go a few more years imo. Bittersweet as it was purchased after the winemaker's unfortunate passing, but a fitting tribute to his craft -
