2023 REDOLENT PELOS SANDBERG VINEYARD PINOT NOIR - $50
Some barrels demand their own bottling. Our single-barrel selection comes from the majestic Pelos Sandberg Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. Pelos-Sandberg vineyard is owned and meticulously farmed by Don Sandberg, and we work with a single block, the Pappou block, and a single clone of Pinot Noir, Pommard, to craft this wine. This single second fill barrel is a denser, more brooding expression of Pinot Noir from this site, showcasing a sweeter core of fruit and remarkable length on the palate.
Aromas of wild strawberry, cheerwine, vanilla bean, and baking spice lead into a structured yet supple palate of black raspberry, dark red fruits, pastille, cacao, and a touch of savory herbs. Fine-grained tannins stretch into a long finish, lingering with an elegant persistence. A contemplative wine, perfect for cellaring or enjoying now with a little air. #teamdecanteverything
