Plowbuster is the second label of Pinot Noir, named for the soil these vines call home. The earth is littered with bits of steel from several generations of plows, Vine roots run so deep that irrigation is moot. There are rocky red soils only a winemaker or a geologist could love. An exceptional quality Pinot Noir, dark fruited, deep and earthy, and from a fantastic vintage for the Willamette Valley.
From the Wine Maker – “ Pure garnet in color with vibrant berry and brown spice on the nose. Dark cherry and cinnamon on the entry with a bright mid-palate that has classic pinot fine tannins and silky texture. Finishes nicely with a lilt of strawberry making it a wonderful match with game hens basted in quince sauce.”
