2023 Pinot Noir Spring Street

This wine has a deep, brooding nose that makes you almost fall into the glass.  The aroma is a complex bouquet of spicy black cherries, strawberry jam and culinary herbs.  The mid-pallet is quite broad with a very silky texture and good weight.  Overall, the wine is a pleasure to drink and the bright fruit finish leaves you feeling satisfied.

This wine is a blend of Pinot Noir from Oregon’s Willamette Valley and Pinot Noir from California’s Central Coast, bringing to the table the best of each cool climate region.  

49% Oregon / 51% California

The two Pinot Noirs were vinified separately in closed top steel tanks with twice daily pumpovers and aged separately for 15 months in French oak barrels.  After aging, we carefully selected barrels from each lot to combine for this blend.  The selections were made with attention to detail on the aromas and flavors that each would bring to the final blend.

Easy drinking, this wine pairs well with a lazy spring afternoon.  Lighter cheeses such as fontina, marinated mozzarella or provolone will make a good match, as will dishes with bright, fresh flavors like grilled vegetable crudité, or bruschetta.  Also look toward lighter barbeque fair - think kabobs or brats.  For a real treat, pair this with a crispy porchetta with spicy jam.
