Sourced from old vine plantings at our Elton Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills founded in 1983 by Dick and Betty O'Brien, a former schoolteacher and Executive Director of the Santiam Girl Scouts.
On the Nose: Ruby in color, the wine expresses savory characteristics on the nose including dried herbs, minerality, red earth and wood spice.
On the Palate: Juicy and round, with Bing cherry, cranberry, raspberry and alluring spice that reaches a finale of balancing acidity and integrated tannins.
Food Pairings: Enjoy with duck confit, spiced lamb lollipops with tzatziki, sautéed foraged mushrooms and aged cow’s milk cheeses like white cheddar.
