    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A touch more floral initially, then dark fruits interwoven with fine minerality, lyrical, delicate yet with a fabulous energy that leaves a fine note of salt and dark plum on the finish. Lovely sweet caressing tannins carry this long on the finish as it hovers, mid-palate. Lovely detail and lift here that lead to a sappy stony nuanced finale. An 0.3ha parcel of pure “Alterite” – eroded volcanic rock.

    Josh Raynolds,

    Limpid ruby-red. Blackberry, cherry and baking spice aromas are complemented by tea rose, savory herb and cola flourishes. Chewy and energetic on the palate, offering densely packed dark fruit, bitter chocolate and spicecake flavors that deepen slowly and turn sweeter through the mid-palate. Shows repeating spiciness on an impressively long, floral-driven finish that's given shape by fine-grained, steadily building tannins.

    This is one of Rose & Arrow's "villages" wines. Fruit is sourced from a vineyard planted on finely eroded volcanic rock at 540 feet in elevation. Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir Yamhill Close is scented of red currants, red and black cherries and dried blackberries over an earthy/minerally core: dried leaves, mushroom and turned earth with touches of dried floral perfume and crushed rock. Medium-bodied, it has good presence in the mouththeres a nice interplay here of soft texture with tannic bonesfleshed out by red and black fruit layers, spices and earth. It has great juicy acidity and a long finish. 123 cases produced.
