2019 Pinot Noir, Nemarniki
Nemarniki Vineyard is a picturesque site in the Chehalem Mountains.
A chance meeting occurred while winemaker Matt Vuylsteke rode
his bicycle by the vineyard and met grower Diane Nemarnik. A long
conversation led to many years of working together and a great
friendship. Aromas dance between berry and cola with savory tones of
olive and leather. The palate carries the fruit through to rich notes of
coffee and cocoa in this concentrated style of Pinot Noir, which was built
to age gracefully.
