Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir 2022 750 ML

This Chehalem Mountains wine is what we like to think of as a snapshot of the AVA. It is a blend of diverse vineyards throughout the Chehalem Mountains and the nestled AVAs within it.
The 2022 growing season was full of surprises that resulted in a miracle harvest of delicious, age-worthy wines with balance and vibrancy. The vintage kicked off with a cold and wet spring that turned worrisome when an unusually late-season freeze event affected lower-lying sections of the vineyard. Slowly but surely, temperatures began to warm by mid-May and continued to rise throughout the summer, allowing the vines to flourish. Harvest commenced on September 19, almost four weeks behind recent vintages. Fortunately, moderate temperatures and clear skies facilitated a steady intake of fruit until finished on October 21.
