Patricia Green Pinot Noir Chehalem Mtn Vineyard '22

From one of Oregon's highest-elevation sites, this Pinot Noir offers a brilliant garnet color and exhilarating aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, and alpine herbs. The palate is electric - vibrant acidity (pH 3.4) carries flavors of red currant, rhubarb, and a distinctive crushed quartz minerality that earned 93 points. Whole-cluster fermentation adds subtle stem spice complexity at just 13.2% alcohol. Aged 11 months in neutral oak, it finishes with mouthwatering salinity. Serve slightly chilled with grilled salmon or wild mushroom tart to appreciate its cool-climate pedigree.
