It's a wine-off! (Not a whine-off.)
It's October. Have you checked in with your New Year's resolutions? Have you accomplished all the things you set out to do in 2014? Yeah, it's pretty demoralizing. Let's have some wine instead!

2011 Roserock Vineyard Pinot Noir, Eola – Amity Hills 750ml 2-Pack
Vineyard Notes: Roserock Vineyard is perched on a ridge top towards the southern end of the Eola‐Amity Hills AVA, which is located within the Willamette Valley, home to many of Oregon’s finest Pinot Noir vineyards. During the growing season, ocean breezes push through the Van Duzer Corridor in the Coastal Range maintaining a consistently cool climate that is the hallmark of all great Pinot Noir winegrowing regions. Roserock® is LIVE and Salmon Safe Certified winegrowing regions.
Winemaker Notes: Winemaking began with cluster sorting and destemming, after which secondarily sorted whole berries underwent a prolonged cold soak, followed by gentle fermentation in small batches. Our wine lots demonstrated diverse personalities based on different blocks on Roserock Vineyard and clonal selections. These qualities became further refined during 11 months of barrel aging in French oak. The final blend is representative of the spirit of the AVA, with complex aromas and flavors of sweet candied red fruit, delicate minerality, a plush textured mouth‐feel and an extended, cherry fruit finish tapering into cedar‐spice.
2011 Pinot Noir, Zena Crown Vineyard, Eola – Amity Hills 750ml 2-Pack
Winemaker Notes: The Pinot Noir at Zena Crown Vineyard was a perfect match for the classic Oregon growing conditions of 2011. Following harvest in the cooler hours of the morning, the fruit was gently sorted and destemmed without crushing. Whole sorted berries then underwent prolonged cold soak, followed by gentle fermentation in small batches. The resulting wine was suprisingly dense and deeply colored. Eleven months of reductive élevage in French oak barrels enhanced the breed and tempered the youthful brashness of the wine. This personality-driven blend shows great intensity of fruit together with racy acidity and spice.
Vineyard Notes: Zena Crown Vineyard is located towards the southern end of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, which is located within the Willamette Valley, home to many of Oregon’s finest Pinot Noir vineyards. During the growing season, ocean breezes push through the Van Duzer Corridor in the Coastal Range maintaining a consistently cool climate that is the hallmark of all great Pinot Noir winegrowing regions. This climate, combined with the shallow, well-drained volcanic soils of the Nekia series that dominate this area, are the primary reasons the Eola-Amity Hills AVA is emerging as one of the world’s most exciting winegrowing regions.
