2021 Ecarté Rogue Valley Pinot Noir

This energetic Pinot opens with a touch of sassafras on the nose alongside ripe raspberry, damp earth, and sweet hibiscus. Red fruit bursts on the palate with dark red cherry and red currant dominating. Prominent secondary flavors of chalk, and potting soil come out as the wine breathes, creating a wonderful blend of earth and fruit, consistent with the Pommard clone. The finish has a luxurious feel with fine grain tannins matching the soft acid profile, which in turn creates a classic Oregon Pinot Noir experience.
