Sommelier
Beef Wellington, mushrooms in a buttery crust with a beef-pinot sauce would be amazing with this wine.
Chef
Dragon plum and stewed raspberry accentuate fleshy tannins and a dense fruit profile.

Winemaking Notes
A wet, but warm spring with a few mild frosts during late April and fewer than average heat spikes.
Near-record precipitation amounts during late June and early July brought increased disease pressure to the region.
The vintage will be remembered for the early rains in September and rapid cool down into October which challenged harvesting decisions.
The cool vintage came largely from substantially lower maximum temperatures while minimum temperatures were near average to slightly above average.
A classic Oregon vintage!
