Patricia Green Pinot Noir

2015 Patricia Green Pinot Noir Reserve...$25.99
Deep red. Expansive red berry and floral pastille scents and flavors show impressive energy and pick up a hint of smokiness as the wine opens up. Smooth and fleshy but lively as well; a late jolt of white pepper adds spicy bite. Generous but vibrant in character, finishing very long and sweet, with gentle tannins lending shape and subtle grip. This wine delivers exceptional bang for the buck.

2015 Patricia Green Pinot Noir Freedom Hill...$31.99
This bottling is comprised of 91% Dijon 115 across all three blocks. The Coury and Pommard round out the blend. This wine was in barrel for a little less than a year in 13% new oak and a combination of once-five times used barrels. This has the deep pigmentation, floral aromatics, intense mid-palate sweetness and structured finishing tannins that provide the wine with enough fortitude to hold the fruit sweetness well in check. This balances at a very high level. For all the dry extract-laden fruit here there is a wealth of acidity and tannin that are actually the dominant forces in the wine and ensure that this is a focused, smart and incredibly delicious Pinot Noir. This has so much to it that it will drink well almost immediately but has an upside that is clearly well more than a decade away.
Production: 898 cases bottled.

2015 Patricia Green Pinot Noir Marine Seimentary...$35.99
Chehalem Mountains

Chehalem Mountains is one of Oregon's newest AVAs, and a sub-appellation of the existing Willamette Valley region.  While this wine falls outside of our normal winemaking pattern since it is from an assemblage of vineyards as opposed to one specific vineyard site it still retains the idea of place as important in the overall characteristics of Oregon Pinot Noir. While we have broadened that concept away from the vineyard and to the appellation the approach to bottling this wine certainly began with the same philosophical principles we apply to our vineyard designated wines.
The Marine Sedimentary bottling takes wine from selected blocks and barrels from across multiple sites. Our entire Estate Vineyard, both Pommard (The Anklebreaker Block) and Wadensvil Clone from Olenik Vineyard and Dijon 115 and Mariafeld Clone from Lia’s Vineyard created to show how the silty marine soil both drives our plants.
