About This Product
Wine Profile:
Our 08 Willamette Valley is a blend consisting of 67% Yamhill Springs Vineyard Wâdenswil picked at 23.4 Brix, PH 3.42 and 33% Hawks View 777 picked at 24 Brix, PH 3.61. It was raised in approximately 40% new French oak for 10 months. The nose is a delicate weave of earth, red cherries & leather that opens up to darker fruits and baking spices. On the palate the bright red cherries also evolve into darker flavors and a long finish that is framed with toasty caramel notes.

Winemaker Notes:
Winemaking at Atticus is a collaboration between the very experienced and talented Scott Shull of Raptor Ridge and our own Ximena. We feel very fortunate to have Scott as our mentor. He has numerous outstanding vintages under his belt and he believes that by having a close hand in the vineyard management, yielding to the will of the grapes and using some intuition, a true expression of Oregon Pinot Noir can be created. As a harvest intern in her first season, Ximena learned how to clean fermenting vats (again and again!). Since then, Ximena studied the science of winemaking at a local college and has gained an evolving level of hands-on experience in the winery over the years. These days, while we still rely on Scott's good council and expertise, Ximena leads many of the key decisions in the winemaking process.
