“To be published in July 2025: This 2023 Reflection Pinot Noir hails from a single vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains, just below Bergström. The grapes were destemmed and given a gentle cold soak followed by fermentation in stainless steel. The wine opens with cherry and raspberry fruit and violet floral, with a hint of clove or allspice. Coiled-up energy and tension framed by fine apple skin tannins are supported by zesty grapefruit acidity finishing with wet slate minerality. Aged for 15 months in 40% new French oak.”
