Crowley Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

Autumn in Oregon can be a magical moment and, as always, a little adversity tends to reflect well on the wines. In this case 3 distinct picking windows allowed both ripeness and freshness in all the wines with subtle shifts in the details depending on timing. The result is a dynamic cellar with a wide variety of wines to play with. 

This wine has a youthful spirit and is brightly lit. Vivid red and blue hues dominate the color, which shimmers with clarity. The nose is strawberry, cranberry, and anise mixed with citrus and watermelon. The palate is bright and lifted out of the gate, also very berry…strawberry, mulberry, and blueberry. Polished and airy, sarsaparilla mingles in the background with sage and cherry while breakfast tea tannins accompany supple roundness to create a perfectly balanced mid-range all the way to an engaging finish.
