The Yamhill-Carlton as it typically yields a lower acidity, deeper color, and mouth-feel than that of neighboring regions; the wines have some of the darkest color of all Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs. We prefer to keep the grape center-stage; we do not blend with other varietals nor do we over extract or over oak in order to achieve a desired profile. This wine is elegant and strives to be a true representation of Pinot Noir.
