Write up for our Pinot Noir in the New Zealand Herald

Our 2012 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir got a shout out from the New Zealand Herald, recommending it as one of Ten Winter Wines to Love:

“If you’re after an excellent introduction to pinot from the western US, this is it. Subtle, baked strawberry, hedgerow fruit, cocoa and soft spices greet the nose, while the mouthfeel is slippery and succulent, with hints of savoury, meaty notes held together by buoyant acidity, fine, emery-like tannins and a long, spicy finish.” – Yvonne Lorkin

*Note: the price quoted for this wine in the article is in New Zealand Dollars.
