Soil type consists of ancient marine sedimentary and alluvial deposits with high drainage properties and an extremely low water table. This, along with Yamhill-Carltons warm days and cool evenings, creates substantial vine stress that results in the production of small, intense berries and very low tonnage per acre.

The 2017 Willamette Valley is a pure and vibrant ruby in the glass, with aromatics of tart cherry and crushed strawberry, alongside hints of dried rose petal and lavender. The cool vintage reveals a wine which is lithe and ethereal on the palate, a bit shy in its youth, but with fine texture and tannin. A very pretty wine, already well balanced and approachable. Seductive with an elegant lightness that makes it very drinkable and enjoyable.

Dark, brooding colour with purple edges. A unique viscosity to this wine in the glass and immediate savoury-spices drifting outward. Dark red berries, Hawaiian starfruit, root beer cask and sweet bark emerge as you lean in. Tightly wound entry that compresses, then explodes with prickly pears and pomegranates inside a light shell of sweet vanilla and roasted nuts as its momentum builds. The layers of flavours broaden with a tight framing of acids, chalky tannins and a level of tension that will certainly reveal more complexity in the months and years to come.
