Story:

The wine that will always mean the most to me. My namesake wine. My dad’s and grandfather’s, too. Neither of them ever drank wine, but I’m still pretty sure they would approve of this. They would approve because it’s emotional and exacting and of a time, but also out of time. This is Oregon Pinot Noir, as I see it, through the lens of Burgundy and Beaujolais and everything in between.
