2021 Tower Pinot Noir
2021 Tower Pinot Noir
The warm growing season allowed us to create a balanced Pinot Noir of depth & vibrancy. The 2021 vintage draws fruit from Menefee, our family vineyard, the prized Lazy River Vineyard, and Bieze Vineyard, nestled right above Seven Springs. A single blend is created each year to showcase the nuances of the vintage as interpreted by distinctly different sites. Brooding dark fruit and earthy elements are yielded from Eola-Amity fruit, while freshness and elegance come from Menefee.
On the nose, a broad array of fruit and spice take center stage with wild brambly summer blackberries intermingled with star anise, cinnamon, and graham. On the palate, this classic Oregon Pinot Noir is balanced, elegant, and vibrant, with refreshing acidity and earthy undertones.

The Tower is our true north. We gather our inspirations, map out our dreams and goals. Our hope is to capture something that inspires us, that we want to share. Vintners often overuse certain keywords to describe their wines. We are probably guilty too. But this wine demands specific terms of adornment. Elegant, playful yet coy. A keeper, a drinker. A convincing argument for the doubtful.
