2017 Medici Vineyard Pinot Noir

The Medici vineyard is situated on the south-facing Chehalem Mountain slope, just a few miles east of the J. Christopher Winery. The oldest blocks were planted in 1976, producing lovely, distinctive Pinot Noir and Riesling fruit. We took over the farming in 2015 and immediately converted it to organic viticulture. The old vines bring complexity and layers of minerality,  with less of an emphasis on overt fruitiness, making this an ideal site for our style of winemaking.
