2019 | Trout Lily Ranch Adams Vineyard Pinot Noir | Chehalem Mountains Ramos Pinto lemon butter

lemon butter

raspberry reduction and melted black licorice notes all swirling around together

the texture so dense

Solid tannins mark this still very young wine

while hints of green olive lead to a long and vibrant finish

2019 | Trout Lily Ranch Adams Vineyard Pinot Noir | Chehalem Mountains Ramos Pinto lemon butterFruit from one of the Willamette Valley's older vineyards was used to make a wine with a dusty perfume of roadside raspberries and violets. Crisp acidity and a lean texture make this an invigorating Pinot Noir experience, with flavors of mixed berries, pipe tobacco and demerara sugar in a cup of black coffee. The tannins feel fully integrated.
