2011 Estate Pinot Noir

Coeur de Terre Vineyards Estate grown fruit only, using a selection from Renelle's Block, Sarah Jane's Block, Abby's Block, and Tallulah's Run. The Estate bottling makes use of vibrant fruit from younger vines combined with more mature fruit from Renelle's Block for structure and balance. All CdT Vineyard blocks are farmed organically. Tasting Notes: Beautifully capturing one if not the coldest Oregon vintage in recent history, this wine is bound to become a classic expression of Oregon Pinot Noir. It first impresses with a beautiful delicate shitake mushroom and wild cherry nose followed by Pacific NW forest floor aromas and spices. On the palate, the wine is deeply textured and presents itself with all the classic signatures of a cool vintage: minerality and earth. The finish is extremely long. It will age well over the next 7+ years.
