Named for the Cascade Mountain range that defines Willamette Valley to the east, our Cascade Pinot Noir is sourced from Gran Moraine Vineyard’s most muscular hillside blocks – 409, 410, and 412. The fruit is hand sorted and 100 percent fermented in 228L French oak barrels. This wine smells like sunshine and roses, is as delicate as a butterfly, and is eloquently understated.
Red fruits crash into the tannin low, and then pull forward whilst barreling back with citrus on the top finish. Thus, creating a flavor vortex with a combination of cinnamon and clove.
