Three Feathers 2017 Pinot Noir
Wine Profile
Three Feathers 2017 Oregon Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes
An intense ruby color, this wine has an expressive and fruity nose with nutty aromas. Lively and robust in the mouth, its tannins bring structure, power and complexity with flavors of hazelnut and candied fruit, finishing with a subtle note of mushrooms.
Vineyard Notes
Our 2017 Pinot Noir is the second vintage featuring the single-clone (Dijon 667) Pinot Noir from Block One of Three Feathers Estate planted in 2014. As the plants continue to push their roots into the Laurelwood soil, they bring new depth of flavor to our wine. We changed the yeast in this vintage taking advantage of the additional richness of flavors.
Winemaker Notes
The grapes were hand-harvested, sorted and pressed. The wine was kept in the vat for 21 days then barreled in neutral French oak to age for 10 months and bottled in late summer. We changed the yeast in this vintage taking advantage of the additional richness of flavors.
