Memoirs is a tribute to fond recollections of my family.  This beloved picture was captured of my parents back in 1953, enjoying a leisurely al fresco lunch in the beutiful mountains of Lebanon. 

The 2022 Memoirs is a blend of pinot Noir crafted from all the the vineyards I source fruit from.  The nose is perfumed with black cherry, spice medley and damp clay.  Vibrant on the palate, with layers of red/black fruit and a hint of blood orange.  The finish is elegant and complex. It's approachable young but will  benefit from time in the cellar. Best from 2024 to 2032.

This is a nuanced and captivating wine.  Very aromatic with spiced cherry pie, dried porcini and hint of black truffle.  Seamless and broad on the palate, with layers of succulent fruit, spice, citrus and savory notes.  The harmonious and very expansive finish lingers endlessly.  This is a gorgeous wine, although tempting to drink now, the longer you can wait to drink it the more rewarding it will be.  100% Whole cluster.  Best from 2025 to 2037.

Captivating nose with black cherry, cinnamon, jasmine tea and a hint of licorice.
Luscious on the palate with refined tannins that envelopes a core of spiced dark red fruit
and bergamot tea.  Long harmonious finish, tempting to drink now but will develop beautifully with time.
This wine was fermented with 10% Whole Cluster.  Best from 2025 to 2037.

Why ??? Vineyards?  Simple, I couldn't put the name of the vineyards on the label.  Sourcing from some of the Dundee Hills finest fruit, the wine quality is tremendous. It has a gorgeous bouquet of red fruit, dried roses and citrus.  Mouthwatering on the palate with black cherry, raspberry and a long spiced citrusy finish.  Best from 2025 to 2035.

Very aromatic with black raspberry, dried violet, black tea and slate minerality.   The palate is lively with juicy acidity, compelling dark red fruit, umami, black pepper and tangerine.  The persistent finish is energetic, layered and  powerful.  Would benefit from time in the cellar. Best from 2025 to 2037.
