The Chehalem Reserve Pinot Noir is made from the best barrels in our cellar each vintage. We are pleased to offer this pair of rare five-liter bottles, representing two highly-acclaimed vintages.
The 2017, sourced from Ridgecrest Vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge AVA, shows aromas of baking spices, black tea, and summer pollen. The palate is soft yet full bodied and not lacking in tension, showing notes of vibrant cherry. Patience will pay off with this wine; it will continue to soften and open its delicate nuances with time.
The 2018 offering is from the Chehalem Mountains AVA and is dark, dense, and complex. On the nose, aromatics of blueberries and dark fruit transition to notes of cigar box and roasted coffee beans in the glass. The palate is elegant with silky tannins and fresh ripe fruit flavors that are heightened with a kiss of vanilla that hits as the wine finishes.
Just six bottles of each were produced. They come signed by winemaker, Katie Santora.
Enjoy a personalized private vineyard tour and seated tasting of six single vineyard and reserve wines, for up to six guests. One of our knowledgeable associates will guide you through the wine, history and people of Chehalem.
