four vineyards – ribbon ridge, momtazi, maresh and shea – are included here. soft and seductive, this wine caresses the palate with silky fruit. aromatically it weaves together red fruits, truffles and clean, earthy scents. it reaches just over 13% alcohol; truly burgundian yet with an oregon flair to the fruit flavors. it puts the lie to any notion that this was a poor vintage. challenging to be sure, but great wines were made in 2007, and this is one of them.
