Roco Winery - Knudsen Vineyard - Pinot Noir

Description

Overview: One of the oldest plantings in the Willamette Valley, Knudsen Vineyards was planted by Cal Knudsen in 1971 and is still owned by the Knudsen family. These vineyards sit atop the world famous Dundee Hills AVA at 800ft of elevation and are entirely red clay Jory soils. ROCO is one of a few wineries able to source this amazing fruit due to Rollin’s long-standing relationship with the Knudsen family. Knudsen Vineyards produce strong, dark fruit flavors with spice notes on the front and mid-palate and a distinct minerality on the finish that is unique to ROCO Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes: The aromas aren't ready to reveal themselves at present, suggesting notes of forest floor, herb and spice. The red and darker fruit flavors are in bloom, silky soft and textured, showing depth and grace. Fine-grained tannins support it all. It hangs on the finish. 

Pairing: Mixed grill
