Anderson Family Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

$44.80 Reg: $56.00 / 750 ml
20% OFF
This small family-owned vineyard in the Dundee Hills may be home to the steepest vineyard slopes in all of Oregon. The phenolic ripeness, which reached very low sugars, has resulted in a wine of Old World balance and depth with plenty of Oregon signature fresh fruit and minerality. Aromatics of red and blue berry fruits mingle with dried violets, forest floor and fresh mint. The palate offers so much verve and energy yet balances it with an umami-driven complexity. Flavours of bright early-season blackberry and turned earth, as well as flint, clove and cola lead into a finish marked by elegance and finesse.

Winery Info
ANDERSON FAMILY VINEYARD
This vineyard has been their family's mission since they founded their 20-acres – an ancient pile of fractured basalt – in the Dundee Hills in 1989. And since, through years of clearing and planting, supply of superior wine grapes to several winery partners, and creation of their own hands-on small-batch bottlings, their goals have remained the same: plant on steep slopes, grow deep roots, deliver intense flavors. Enjoy.
