the new oregon project from john abbott (ex-abeja) kicks off with this vineyard selection from a five-star vintage. a blend of fifth leaf pommard and 30-year-old wädenswil clones, it's lush and aromatic, sporting bold scents and flavors of ripe raspberry and cherry fruit, with a spine of iron. toasty new barrel accents punch through, with a clean crisply defined finish.
