Style: New England IPA

We harvested the pinot noir for this wine on September 12th from Kason Vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton AVA. The vineyard is a warm lower elevation site just north of the town of Yamhill and was planted in 2000. We pulled 100% 777 Clone for this bottling.
This wine is fermented at low temperatures for 51 days and aged in stainless steel on fermentation lees for an additional three months before being bottled in February. The resulting wine shows off a silky somewhat rich texture, with bright acidity.
2018 Imagination Series No. 27 "Ocean Meets Forest" Pinot Noir
by Dominio Wines
During the summer the Pacific Ocean and the Willamette Valley engage in a daily conversation regarding the weather. Pinot Noir records the dialog in itâs berries. In the morning, the fog of the sea creeps into the valleyâs forests and vineyards engaging in light chitchat.
By the evening, casual banter has changed to the windâs whipping whorl of discussion that thickens the skin of the fruit and leaves behind the freshness of acid. Fog and wind have a distinct and wonderful influence on the wines of the Willamette Valley, enjoy your own conversation over a glass.
by Elizabeth Chambers Cellar
Red ruby in color, the Willamette Valley Pinot Noir exhibits beautiful aromas of fresh plum, cassis, boysenberry, sandalwood and thyme. Luscious fl avors of blackberry, cherry, Bergamot tea and mocha envelop the palate. A soft, silky, plush wine that is round, juicy and has great length. The Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is suitable for every occasion.
by Silvan Ridge Winery
Winemaker JP Valot, originally from Mendoza, calls this Malbec âan Oregon wine with an Argentine soul.â When asked about our new release he adds, âOf all the wines we make, Malbec is the most challenging.
But itâs constantly evolving and improving. I think weâre on the right path.â This vintage offers a lush nose laced with boysenberry and cocoa. Soft yet concentrated on the palate, with additional flavors of black cherry, vanilla, and cardamom.
b J. Scott Cellars
The 2019 J. Scott Cellars Chenin Blanc is brilliantly crisp and clean. Aromatic stone fruit notes on the nose lead you into a well balanced honey and pear fi lled taste that has a lingering fi nish. Vibrant and refreshing to the very last drop, this is the perfect summer sipper!
by Sweet Cheeks Winery
Site specific to its core, this is the terroir of Sweet Cheeks Vineyards in a bottle. Lively and bright aromas of red raspberry, cherry, and cranberry underscored by toasted hazelnut, sweet tea, and violets for balance and fi nesse. Juicy waves of red fruit surf along the palate with fi ne grained tannins and subtle acidity. Cinnamon and star anise join the red fruit nuances - giving it great depth and complexity and fi nishing long and full of fall spices. Our âTriple Blockâ Pinot Noir got its name from the vineyard blocks of wine grapes that were used for its production: Kody Block (named after our founderâs beloved Black Lab), Wild Child Block (for its unruly and untamed growing patterns), and Grandpa Block (our oldest estate block - planted in 1978).
