2023 Laurelwood District Pinot Noir

This wine is from Pinot Noir grown at Dion Vineyard, a beautiful south-facing slope on the back of the Chehalem Mountains. A wilder, more rugged expression of Pinot Noir, this wine offers aromas of sour red berries, alpine herbs, and crushed currants. A chewy texture and savory edge—like fresh pine needles and cracked black pepper—make this a contemplative, woodland-driven wine.
