Brimming with Asian spices, sandalwood, cherries and raspberries, the aroma highlights our focus on fruit, with a little oak spice playing a supporting role. The texture is well balanced, plump upon entry, with brisk acidity and fine grained tannins trailing into the finish. Delicate, delightful and delicious…enjoy!

Wine maker notes

All of the vineyards from which we source our PinotNoir are located in the Illinois Valley, tucked between the Coast and the Siskiyou mountain ranges in the western reach of Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley Appellation. With altitudes between 1,500’ and 1,600’, we experience warm days and cool evenings, especially during critical ripening in September. Foris either owns or manages 175 acres and works closely with a small group of dedicated growers that represent another 75 acres or so. It is this close relationship with farming the land that provides us the greatest opportunity to capture the fruit qualities that are unique to our valley.
