Rose hips, lavender and garrique nose promise a sumptuous Oregon pinot with complexity and finesse, yet the full palate delivers an abundance of dry extract, framing the body of the wine. Big-boned yet restrained in the finish with fine and chalky tannins that mellow with aeration. This wine highlights the natural abundance of Ribbon Ridge fruit with admirable restraint. Notes of provençal herbs, dry cassis and cumin predominate.
