TASTING NOTES

The 2022 Acrobat Pinot Noir delivers notes of dark cherry, raspberry, rich plum and cinnamon on the nose. Bright acidity and elegant tannins shine on the palate, leading to a juicy but delicate finish. Enjoy a glass with a classic woodfired pizza.

WINEMAKING PROCESS

Winemaking for the 2022 Acrobat Pinot Noir was dictated by one goal: capture the best attributes of Oregon. This Pinot Noir is almost a perfect blend of Oregon’s top appellations  Rogue Valley, Umpqua Valley, and Willamette Valley. Early harvest, stainless steel fermentation, and a combination of gentle punchdowns and pumpovers all aimed at revealing the bright red fruits and ripe tannins in this red wine. The wine was gently pressed and aged for 9 months in French oak, where it completed malolactic fermentation.

VINTAGE NOTES

2022 will be remembered for the challenging yet rewarding growing season in Oregon. April frosts impacted much of our Northern Oregon vineyards in the Willamette Valley, but despite the frost; the vines responded with higher than anticipated grape yields. We were rewarded with a warm and dry September and October, which allowed our vineyards to reach optimal maturity before harvest.
