Description

The grapes for Klee Willamette Valley Pinot Noir come from the fields Mason Ridge Vineyard owned by Dean Inman and Cancilla Vineyard owned by Ken Cancille … both located in the Willamette Valley. There is not much information about the production, but after fermentation the wine is aged for 10 months in oak casks, of which 90% are used and 10% new casks. Aroma-wise it s like standing in the vineyard … lots of green elements like vine leaves, which is complemented by some ink, graphite, smoke and a straight sweet-sour-bitter fruit with cranberries, raspberries and green strawberries as well as stalks from the bunches of grapes … and with more air there is also a little milk chocolate and vanilla.

 The taste is also on the cool and slightly European side, where there are both cranberries, mirabelles, currants and raspberries, some dry ink, graphite and smoke … lean, fine and really fresh. There is a little lemon and lemon in the taste, while the tannins are also clear. It gives a tight, clean and fine Pinot Noir with a little pepper, freshness and bite.
