A nose of fresh berry fruit and hints of pie spice introduce the wine – along with an undercurrent of earth and forest floor. Immediately approachable, with commingled Oregon caneberry flavors: ripe blackberry, raspberry and loganberry: fresh and sweet with balanced fruit acidity, deep, smooth tannins, and a long finish of berries laced with cinnamon, star anise and a whisper of white pepper. Layers of varied berry, spice and earth evolve as you taste and the wine opens with exposure to air in the glass.
