From the Winemaker
tasting notes, wine unfolds its tale with an aromatic prelude of dried roses, coriander, and muddled raspberry. Venture deeper
into the glass and the story darkens, revealing a core of a forest at dusk. Candied bacon, anise and strawberry guava
parade across the palate with a savory sweetness. A narrative of flavors, each sip is a chapter in its own right, a story
that promises to linger after the curtain falls, leaving you yearning for just one more taste of its enchanting story.

Inspired by the wines of the Loire Valley and vignerons like Didier Barouillet of Clos Roche Blanche (who was an over-the-phone consultant on the project), Thierry Puzelat, and Marc Ollivier of Domaine de la Pépière, Dana and Scott Frank set out to turn Oregon’s “Pinotstocracy” on it’s head. Semi-carbonic maceration, minimal punchdowns, no racking, and…
The palate is medium-full-bodied with fresh acidity and tastes like wet rock, straw, honey, and sea salt.
All fruit was direct pressed and settled before racking to neutral French oak barrels for primary fermentation and aging. Sulfur at bottling is the only addition to the wine.

TASTING NOTES
The wine pours a lovely deep burgundy color with a nose of cherry, cranberry
& rhubarb.
On the palate, pretty cherry
flavors mix with teaberry and spices.
The finish shows red cherry with ripe,
abundant tannins framed by bright
acidity.
Aromas od melon, starfruit, Asian pear and scented talc offer an attractive introduction. The palate is rich and satisfying, with flavors of lemon meringue, kumquat and white nectarine. The finish is pleasingly zesty, with a hint of minerality.
