2022 Five Mountain
An abundant nose of blueberry compote, five spice and cedar is made more complex by notes of forest floor, browned butter, and sage. The earthy palate features black plum and dried blueberries among silky tannins and notes of caramel, rose petal and baking spice.

Walking through a garden after a much-needed summer rain might give you a sense of the Five Mountain’s earthy pleasures. Additional aromas of sweet red raspberries and a walnut scone are merely icing on the earthy cake. This is a balanced wine, with gentle acidity and silky tannins accompanying flavors of tart pie cherries, cacao and cinnamon.

“From a historic site in the foothills of the Cascade Range and the Laurelwood District AVA, the aromas are soft and elegant, With sweet red berries, smoky rose petals, and notes of black tea. The palate is concentrated with ripe fruit, candied raspberries, black cherry flesh, and a finish of spicy black plums.”

“The 2022 Pinot Noir Five Mountain, grown on Laurelwood soils, is scented of raspberry, red cherry jam, cinnamon, mushrooms and orange peel. The light-bodied palate is silky and refreshing with understated, floral fruit and a long, spicy finish.”
