Johan Vineyard is an 85-acre, Demeter-certified biodynamic site in the Willamette Valley, south of McMinnville and west of Salem. This site is almost always our last Pinot pick of harvest. Although it's a relatively low-elevation site, due to its proximity to the coast and the winds that howl through the Van Duzer Corridor every summer afternoon, the fruit here tends to ripen later than in our other vineyards.
This 2021 wine is a fine example of the charm, balance and satisfaction that fine Dundee Hills Pinot can provide. Translucent scarlet in colour, with magnetically attractive raspberry scents, once on the palate the wine is soft-contoured yet energetic, with arresting intensity of fruit.
Sanford Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir is exclusively sourced from this historic vineyard in the esteemed Santa Rita Hills AVA. Thirty-five year old vines planted on their own roots give great intensity and complexity. The wine is deep red in color and is loaded with vibrant raspberry, cherry and plum fruit with a hint of rose petal and white pepper on the nose. The palate delivers bright cherry flavors framed nicely by bright acidity and supple tannins.
The 2021 Rita Hills Pinot Noir is a wine of elegance and precision. Exotic, vibrant red fruits and dried flower aromas inform the palate that is vivid and very attractive. This will pair better with light or heartier dishes and although charming now, it will continue to improve over several years.
