2011 Expression 44° Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills, Roserock Vineyard 750ml 2-Pack
Fine ruby-red. Classic scents of cool-climate Pinot Noir: black currant and raspberry with subtle woodsmoke, and forest. A bundle of crisp fruits and savory truffles, seared to the palate by Roserock’s fresh acidity, make a lasting impression. Matches beautifully with pasta, poultry, fish and lighter meat dishes.
Roserock - Named for the red, rocky Nekiah soil in the Eola Hills, a wine makers favorite. The cool ocean breezes flow through the VanDuzer Corridor and wash over Roserock. Ideal Climate and Soil. This elite vineyard was designed by Bill Hill. Roserock Pinot Noir is rich, intense, with the alluringly scent of rose petals. We have a general minimalist approach to winemaking. We destem and carefully sort berries; gravity-feed whole berries into small, open-top fermenters (1- to 3-tons each). Some whole clusters used on a case-by-case basis. Cold soak for up to 1 week, followed by a short, hot fermentation. Cap is managed with a combination of punch-downs of the fermentation. Tanks are drained and pressed at dryness and go to barrel within two days.
2011 Expression 44° 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.
