Cascade Pinot Noir

Rated 90+ Points
$75
Named for the Cascade Mountain range that defines Willamette Valley to the east, our Cascade Pinot Noir is sourced from Gran Moraine Vineyard’s most muscular hillside blocks – 409, 410, and 412. The fruit is hand sorted and 100 percent fermented in 228L French oak barrels. This wine smells like sunshine and roses, is as delicate as a butterfly, and is eloquently understated.

Taught yet voluptuous, somehow all-encompassing yet still tight. Velvet drapes followed by a zipper then focused acidity medium tannins and red fruit.
