Andy's Pick

This wine (that we can personally vouch is made by a great dad) is perfect for sending your dad if you're here in Portland and he's back home somewhere else. The fruit comes from a superb site in the Dundee hills and the wine is redolent with red and black fruit, spice, delicate herbs and just a touch of funky forest floor earthiness. It's a great piece of OR love to for Pops. 

Additional Notes from Belle Pente:

"Our only non-estate single vineyard Pinot Noir for many years, this hails from Robin and Mike Murto’s terrific high elevation Dundee Hills vineyard planted in 1978. Volcanic Jory soils impart a spice shop aroma hovering over a medley of red fruit.  A classic example of this prestigious appellation from the “high rent district” of the Willamette Valley!"
