2021 Medici Vineyard Whole Cluster Pinot Noir
Medici Vineyard was planted by Hal and Dotty Medici in 1976, making it one of the oldest vineyards in the Willamette Valley. It is consistent of Jory (Volcanic) soil. The vineyard has elevations starting at 500ft and topping out at about 900ft. We were so delighted to be sourcing Pinot Noir & Riesling from the historic site in 2015 that we took over the farming in 2016.
Vinous
Dark red. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red fruits and succulent flowers, and peppery spice and smoky mineral notes add complexity. Silky, concentrated and focused, offering appealingly sweet raspberry, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that deepen as the wine opens up. Finishes long and spicy, with repeating red fruit and floral notes and sneaky tannins that add framework and gentle grip.
