Product Information: Winemaker's notes: The 2006 vintage in the Willamette Valley was consistently warm and dry, resulting in rich, ripe flavors that speak of black cherry, and plums, with hints of sweet spice. Other Notes: Winemaker's notes - The Basalt block comes from the parts of the vineyard that have the heaviest concentration of broken basalt, resulting in low yielding vines that produce intense flavors and layers of complexity. Indicative of the 2006 vintage, the Basalt Block Pinot is a big, rich wine that exhibits flavors of black cherry, and plums, with hints of sweet spice. The Pinot Noir for the Basalt Block consists predominantly of the Pommard selection, blended with clones 777 and 115, planted on Riparia Gloire and 101-14 rootstocks. The fruit for the 2006 vintage was picked in early October and allowed to cold soak for five days before fermentation began. After fermentation, the wine was aged in French Oak barrels, approximately 35% new. The wine went through malo-lactic fermentation in barrel and was aged for 10 months prior to bottling. | ||||
