VINATGE 2021

"In 2005 we began bottling a small amount of wine taken from several barrels of the two vineyards we had planted on Marine Sedimentary soil, our Estate and Whistling Ridge Vineyard which is also located in the Ribbon Ridge AVA. Over time as we added vineyards like Corrine (Olenik at the time) and Lia’s we both shifted to a Chehalem Mountains AVA." — P.G.

What to expect: "The 2021 vintage’s surprising brightness and high-toned nature meshes nicely with this wine’s inherent nature to be dark, sullen, minerally and structured. This will still provide the savory nature that fans of a certain style of Pinot Noir crave while perhaps providing a gateway to folks whose bent is still toward the volcanic soil wines." — Arik Colbath/P.G.
