Having tasted this wine for many vintages, it is clear the vines and fruit are improving with age. Typical of Willamette Valley and the surrounding regions, there is an earthy quality to the Pinot grown here. This offers light raspberry, cranberry and lingonberry, which works with delicate strawberry, wildflowers and herbal notes. The acidity is spot on, holding the wine in check as a food friendly companion, while the tannins provide structure.

This is a very restrained wine, one where the fruit is evident, but also the earthiness of the volcanic soils and a deep minerality running through the wine make themselves known. It is also a very tactile wine. Using concrete as a tool is known to add a level of viscosity to a wine and that is undeniable here. Comprised of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, there is 34% Merlot added in. The wine was fermented in three different ways - oak barrels, stainless steel tanks and concrete eggs.

Beautifully packaged in a hexagon styled bottle.  This is a Rosé from Provence made from Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, and Vermentino.  Deep salmon pink in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with guava, watermelon, minerality and slight strawberries.  Medium bodied.  Lovely texture.  Great balance.  On the palate, the Guava and Watermelon come thru with a touch of minerality.  Long finish.  This is very nice on its own but better with food.  It will stand up to a large range of foods.
