Product Description
In 26 years of farming in the Willamette Valley, we’d never experienced two back-to-back vintages with flowering in the vineyards as late as July, until 2011. Never say never because Mother Nature is full of surprises. In 2011, the cool weather demanded that we keep the crops low and hope for a long Indian summer. By mid October we did have a 10-day window of semi-dry weather with temperatures in the mid 70s. We were high-fiving ourselves when the grapes came in at 20.5 Brix. This year we learned that late season ripening of a small crop can lead to great results AND that vineyard sites matter more than the amount of sugar in the grapes. Sure enough, the wines turned out far above what the ‘numbers’ would indicate. This 2011 Pinot noir is proof of the sophistication possible in a true, cool-climate wine grape region. Late-harvested Pinot noir develops more intense, leap-out-of-the-glass aromatics than wines from earlier harvested vintages. Additionally, late-harvested Pinot noir is the only red variety that builds power while remaining graceful with age... Just like the best of us! Here’s to 2011! The 2011 ROCO wines are beautiful, perfumed and have surprising depth, complexity and finish to them.
