2020 Meredith Mitchell Vineyard Pinot blanc

The Meredith Mitchell Vineyard Pinot blanc is our unique take on this Alsatian classic. 

Distinct aromatics of stone fruit, Bosc pear, lemon tart and ocean spray stun the senses. On the palate this wine is lithe and textured with just a hint of creamy softness balancing bright acidity. Starfruit and lime zest complement the more subtle flavors of fresh lemon thyme and creme anglaise to round out the finish.

2018 Dundee Hills Vineyards Pinot noir

The color is a dense and penetrating blackberry, and the aromatics practically burst from the glass. There’s a beautiful tension between rustic dry grass and forest floor with warm notes of cinnamon and allspice. The palate teems with spices and fruit: Amarena cherries, bay leaf and hints of fruit leather are reined in by wet stone, Italian plums and a hint of lime zest. The wine is structured but approachable and while there is ample potential in the cellar, it is so tasty now, it might not make it there..

2016 Meredith Mitchell Vineyard Pinot noir

From our newest estate vineyard in the Coast Ranges of the McMinnville AVA comes a Pinot noir that exemplifies the richness of this region and the signature syrah-like color of the site.

Pomegranate and mint offer up a unique profile reinforced by coriander, cocoa, Moroccan spice and blueberry on the nose. The palate continues with cranberry, black tea, and rhubarb complementing and enhancing the striking aromatics.
