This is a flagship blend crafted from sustainably and biodynamically farmed fruit sourced across multiple vineyards in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Following old-world techniques, the grapes are fermented in small-batch, open-top fermenters with gentle hand and foot maceration before aging in new and neutral French oak barrels for 10 to 22 months, followed by extended bottle aging before release.

Impressions: This cuvée is affectionately nicknamed their "Pinot for the people," intentionally styled to capture a diverse expression of the valley. Features prominent aromas of cherry, marionberry, and blackberry, balanced by savory elements of cedar, oak, baking spice, and a hint of iron or leather. Lovely secondary and tertiary notes stand out in this mature expression of local Pinot.
