Sass Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2023
Low stock
About the Wine: Elegant, nuanced, aromatic pinot with aromas of dark cherry, red raspberry, cranberry and peppery spice. Well balanced with silky texture and mature tannins. Grapes were hand-harvested and de-stemmed, leaving about 80 percent of the berries uncrushed, then fermented for two weeks before a gentle press. Indigenous yeasts and malolactic fermentation. Wines were barrel-aged with fine lees, then bottled unfined and unfiltered.
About the Producer: Winemaker Jerry Sass, inspired by wines his father made from Finger Lakes grapes in western New York, founded the winery in 1996, believing in natural, non-invasive winemaking. Today we make wine from vineyards that are naturally and sustainably dry-farmed, celebrating every small part of each vineyard’s rich ecosystem.
