About the wine
Plush, earthy Pinot from Oregon's most exclusive vineyards
- This Pinot from the elite Dundee Hills subregion of Oregon Pinot country explodes with rich and elegantly earthy flavors of dark cherry, and just a touch of leather and spice. Picture a bite of warm mixed berry pie just melting in your mouth, with a long, lingering, oh-so-satisfying finish.
- “Thanks to Angel support I was able to source fruit from the most prestigious vineyards in Oregon,” Chris says. “Other wines from these vineyards are extremely limited and sell for over $100 per bottle. Angel support has miraculously made this wine available and for 1/5th or 1/6th of the cost.”
- With grapes that hard to come by, Chris could only make so much of this Dundee Hills treasure. Your winemaker’s word to the wise: “Once the news of the 2018 vintage gets out the wines will go fast.”
Best before
It is ready to drink now, however will get better with time. The blend has enough structure and acidity to hold up for a long time in bottle. It will continue to get better for years. Not that it will last that long though.
Serving advice
A bit of decanting or opening 30 minutes before drinking may be beneficial for the first 6 months or so. It is smooth on its own, but also will pair with most food. This one you will want to savor.
Food match
You could start with Charcuterie plate , but with this wine I would have to go for a hazelnut encrusted pork tenderloin or a cedar plank salmon fillet over an open fire with this one.
Contains sulphites
