Raptor Ridge Barrel Select Pinot Noir '23

From volcanic Jory soils in the Chehalem Mountains, this barrel selection shows deep ruby color with a nose of black cherry, violets, and subtle baking spice. The palate is rich yet precise - flavors of marionberry, dark chocolate, and a touch of earth unfold across polished tannins. Wine Spectator (94 pts) praises its "perfect balance of power and finesse." Aged 14 months in 40% new French oak, it's approachable now but built for cellaring (2025-2035). Pair with grilled salmon or duck confit. Only 275 cases produced from this exceptional vintage.
