Alcohol: 13.5 %
Grape(s): 100 % Pinot Noir
Location: Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Tasting Notes: Bright ruby with garnet edges. Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and dried cranberry with floral hints of rose and underbrush. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vivid acidity, and flavors of red fruit, baking spice, and a subtle savory minerality from the basalt-influenced soils. The finish is balanced, long, and gently earthy.
Notes: "Basalt" indicates vineyard sites with volcanic-derived soils that contribute pronounced mineral lift and structure. The Basalt is crafted for clarity of fruit and terroir, typically fermented with a mix of whole clusters and destemmed fruit, and briefly aged in neutral French oak to preserve brightness and texture.
Food Pairing: Roast duck, mushroom dishes, pork tenderloin, grilled salmon, and soft to semi-aged cheeses.
