Purely Oregon! The cooler temps of the 2019 vintage, coupled with the nerve to hang through the early rains of this more "traditional" growing season for Oregon, rewarded us with fruit that yielded great color and flavor concentration while acids remained bright and alcohols low.
Power & Elegance! The 2019 vintage was what many would call a more "traditional" vintage for Oregon with cooler temps overall and early rains that caused some angst over gambling on hang-time versus a "safe" pick. However, farming is always a gamble and so we went for the hang time, especially for our Trinity Pinot noir which is always comprised of fruit picked later in the season for increased color and flavor concentration.
