Imported from Domaine Dupeuble Pere et Fils, Le Breuil, France. Cherry red color with purplish reflections, bright and clear with lots of fat. Grapes and red fruits reminiscent of blackcurrant and raspberry. Clever balance between freshness and creamy structure, leading to a generous finish with notes of red fruits.
Limited bottles available for purchase in the tasting room starting on November 21.
Light-to-medium bodied, medium acidity. Aromas of cherry, strawberry, rose, and cacao with mild oak and red fruits (including tart cranberry) on the palate with soft tannins. Aged 8 months in 40% new French oak with 20% whole cluster blended into the cuvee.
Continuing the tradition of Chemeketa Wine Studies students, this Pinot Noir has been over-vintaged entirely in French Oak. The label is the first winning design to be submitted by a Chemeketa Wine Studies student and you may be able to determine the very spot that is depicted. $5 from the purchase of every bottle funds a Wine Studies scholarship fund at the college.
Aroma: Cranberry, raspberry, vanilla, baking spices, candied pomegranate, cinnamon, and red tart cherry scents on the nose.
Flavor: This wistful wine evokes Petrichor with its earthy flavor, reminiscent of aged balsamic glaze, with red and blue fruits, cedar wood, vanilla, and pomegranate.
