2022 The Forest Oxygen Pinot Noir

Rasperries, Roses, Spices

The Forest Wine Laboratory is the place where we experiment with new winemaking and growing techniques to help us continually improve quality and uncover the best ways to render and frame the expressions of our vineyard sites. With this wine we experimented with a more oxidative style to create a wine that is more developed and ready to drink earlier. A blend made from all 4 of our Single Vineyard sites, displaying raspberries, cherries, rose petal, baking and Italian spices. With only 15 cases made, we have decided to sell it strictly by the case (12 bottles) at this very special price.

Vineyard Environment

This wine is a blend of our 4 single vineyard sites.  It includes Élevée Vineyard (Dundee Hills), Björnson Vineyard (Eola-Amity Hills), Madrona Hills Vineyard (Laurelwood District), and Meredith Mitchell Vineyard (McMinnville) which include a mix of Volcanic and Loess soils.
