SILKY, SMOOTH & SUBLIME. Intense aromas of cherry,
blackberry, spice & vanilla surge from the glass, leading to rich, ripe
cherry & cassis flavors. A silky smooth texture, balanced by a firm tannic
structure, suggesting a long life ahead.
100% Pinot Noir
The flagship offering of this 100% estate-bottled Eola Hills
producer benefits from an extraordinary microclimate, which allows for riper
fruits than most Oregonian winemakers. Steven Westby, wine-maker and Vineyard
Manager, working the vineyard at Witness Tree for the last sixteen vintages. Such
experience has given Steven an intimate knowledge & appreciation for the
varied microclimate & his familiarity with the nuances of each separate lot
of the 100% estate-grown fruit qualifies him as one of Oregon’s most capable
Winemakers. Small yields & a minimum of handling combine to create a wine
of great depth, structure, and character. As wonderful as this wine is now, it
will only be more glorious in the future. Drink now through 2020. 397 Cases
