Description
The 2022 Willamette Valley Pinot noir is, as always, comprised of all the vineyards that Big Table Farm works with—each is treated with equal diligence, and as Brian says, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Vinified in the house style—100% whole cluster, native yeast, foot stomping, basket press, and only as much sulfur as necessary—this Pinot sees some oak but not too much and is bottled after 10 months in barrel without any fining or filtration.
This wine unfolds its tale with an aromatic prelude of dried roses, coriander, and muddled raspberry. Venture deeper into the glass, and the story darkens, revealing a core of a forest at dusk. Candied bacon, anise, and strawberry guava parade across the palate with a savory sweetness. A narrative of flavors, each sip is a chapter in its own right, a story that promises to linger after the curtain falls, leaving you yearning for just one more taste of its enchanting story.
