2007 Autograph Pinot Noir

Wine Type: Our Wines, Pinot Noir  

A blend this year of four of our very favorite vineyards: Weber, Winderlea, Temperance Hill and Daffodil Hill. The first two offer gorgeous Dundee Hills red fruit, floral elegance and exotic spice; the latter two from the Eola Hills bringing on blue notes, earthiness, structure.

As ever, Autograph is Rob’s picute of the vintage; who better than he to interpret what each vintage means to us? He says 2007 made him fell like he was in a summer Oregon forest.

A rich forest floor beneath, combination of wildfowers, leaves, mushrooms – but oh, the red, red fruits above, whispering. Complex, seductive, not overpowering. Many secrets to be read in this Autograph.
