2021 Quartz Acorn Vineyard Pinot Noir
Gorgeous and complex, with notes of plum, brioche, tar, and rich blackberry. A savory herbal profile offers sage, spearmint, fennel, and anise as it opens. On the palate, a concentrated depth of flavor and bold tannin structure speak to the site’s rocky terrain. This wine will age gracefully for 10-15 years. Made with organically-farmed Pinot Noir from our Yamhill-Carlton, Quartz Acorn Estate Vineyard.
