Stoller Winemaker Series,  2022

 

Whole Cluster Pinot Noir

 
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA

The high percentage of whole cluster fermentation in this wine yields intense aromatics of baking spice, fresh cherries, earth, and dried floral elements.

The palate is fresh and vibrant as more red fruit notes emerge, accompanied by a hint of wild grape. This wine is lighter in body with a solid backbone of tannin.

Drink young, and serve slightly chilled.

Single Acre
Syrah

 

 
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA

The 2021 vintage yielded a Syrah that is rich and complex with layers of dense flavors and aromas. White pepper, dried blueberry, and fine herbs aromas dominate the nose.

 

The palate offers red plum, fresh cassis, and darker mineral notes of graphite. The tannin structure and generous vibrancy will allow this wine to age gracefully for many years to come.
