2023 Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir

The 2023 Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir is from Hollis Vineyard, a high elevation site on volcanic soils. Structured and compelling, this Pinot unfurls with both red and blue fruits, anchored by dense tannins and a silky roundness. Subtle hints of anise and caramelized fennel play at the edges, bringing depth and intrigue to a long, resonant finish.
