The near-perfect growing season in 2006 ended with light rain in September, followed by a classic Oregon Indian Summer - a long string of warm days and cool nights. After handharvesting, the fruit was carefully sorted and e-stemmed prior to cold soaking. After careful fermentation under temperature controlled conditions, the wine was carefully moved to new French Oak barrels for aging. The three barrels chosen for these 75 cases represent the highest quality from our 2006 vintage. Aging was extended to 18 months, in comparison to our typical 11—12 month aging for our Pinot Noirs. Displaying a stronger oak influence, our Vintner’s Select is full of richness and velvety dark flavors with subtle hints of sandalwood and vanilla. Subtle spices are blended with the fruit leading to a completely balanced wine with amazing mouthfeel that transitions into a long and lasting flavorful finish. The wine will age well and continue to improve in the bottle for many years. We suggest laying this wine down for a minimum of two to three years before drinking.
