Ruby Estate Blend Pinot Noir 2016

Ruby Vineyard Laurelwood Blend 2016 (Chehalem, OR

Only 900 cases made
Dry Farmed, Organic, LIVE
Pinot Noir (Wädenswil clones)

From the ancient cataclysmic floods that created the legendary Laurelwood terroir… to the arrival of Ruby Vineyard owner Steve Hendricks’ great-great-grandfather on the Oregon trail 14,820 years later. Steve and winemaker Andrew Kirkland made just 900 cases of this “pepper and dust” pinot. Note how a touch of mixed berry coulis on the palate cools down that initial spice (a product of the dry farming?). 90 points from Wine Spectator.
