  Weber Vineyard is perhaps the purest Dundee Hills Pinot Noir that we have. This is a quintessential old vine, Worden Hill Road Pinot Noir that reaches back into the history of Oregon. In our dozen years working with this vineyard it has routinely produced one of the top wines each vintage. In 2017 it was certainly the most deft and elegant of the wines we made, although it has a sly structure that belies both its lighter appearance and silky fruit quality. Over the last couple of years we have been working out what sort of whole cluster fermentation regimen works best with this gorgeous fruit. In 2017, 8 barrels were selected from the 40% whole cluster ferments and 5 from the 100% whole cluster fermentation which was done in a 2.5 ton fermenter as opposed to the 1.75 ton fermenters the rest of the fruit went to. This is not an especially dark wine, but it is flush with red fruit and floral aromatics that are common from this area, but have not necessarily been on display recently in the warmer vintages we now experience. There is a wealth of spice and a firm tannin structure to this wine, and an unexpected turn in power especially given how long it holds the delicacy of the wine’s flavors together on the finish. This is complete, age-worthy and unique all while still being a distinctly an old vine Dundee Hills wine.

  A very feminine Pinot rather red fruited in nature. Loads hood strawberries with silky texture. Bordering on being lean but quite pretty as well.
