This wine truly embraces the concept of “evolution in the glass.”  On the first pour, the wine is reminiscent of cured meats and pepper bacon.  As the wine opens, it develops complex notes of cracked white pepper and dried cherry with hints of blueberry and pomegranate.  Further time yields earthy aromas of mushroom, burdock root, soy and licorice.  On the palate, the wine is round and smooth, with a weighty texture, and notes of fruit leather, baking spice and dried cherries.  Subtlety is not on the menu for this wine, but complexity definitely is, with hints of black plum. dark cherry, culinary herbs and obscure botanicals.  The finish is long and always hints at some new character to discover with the next sip.

2019 Signature Series Pinot Noir Vineyard description

Meticulously farmed, the site is optimally situated for collecting gentle morning sunshine, cooling the plants in the afternoon, and draining cold air down the hill. The iron-infused clay soils give wines from the Durant vineyard a silken texture, classic Dundee Hills aromatics, and weightless power.

2019 Signature Series Pinot Noir Wine making Information

Classical winemaking from a long, cool vintage.  100% single vineyard Pinot Noir with native fermentation and daily, gentle punchdowns.  These grapes were hand sorted and received a four day cold soak, followed by a two week alcoholic fermentation.  Produced exclusively from free run, the wine then aged in barrel for 13 months to achieve a balanced profile.

2019 Signature Series Pinot Noir Food Pairing

This is a big wine that can hold up to something a bit gamey or intense - lamb, kangaroo, or alligator all spring to mind.  If you’re not in the mood for grilled meats, look toward mushroom dishes, like chanterelles or morrells.  Black truffle pasta or duck confit would also work a treat.  For the more patient set, the wine will continue to open and change in the glass over the course of an evening, showing something new at every sip.
