Dark ruby colored with black rasberry and sweet pie cherry aromas. A beautiful medium bodied wine that opens up showing vibrant strawberry, dark raspberry and cassis intertwined with subtle vanilla and spices on the long finish. The Yamhill Cuvee is a blend of Pommard (85%), Wadenswil (10%) and Dijon (5%) clones of Pinot Noir sourced from Estate Vineyards in Yamhill County. The fruit came from the Red Hills (50%), Eola Hills (25%) and the Yamhill Foothills (5%).
