Patricia Green "Chehalem Mountain Vineyard" Pinot Noir 2022
Its easy to fall in love with Patricia Green’s wines. We chose both her “Lia’s Vineyard” and “Chehalem Mountain Vineyard” bottlings, which offer equal levels of refined berry fruit and elegant earthy notes. We recommend getting both and making a delicious evening of comparing the two. The Chehalem Mountain Vineyard offers a slightly more structured and focused cellar-friendly option, as opposed to the Lia Vineyard’s more open-knit and effusive expression.
We quote the winemaker: “This wine combines the fruit driven intensity of the two California clones that make up around 65% of its volume with the more densely structured and earthenly nuanced clones that are common to Oregon. Combined with growing in marine soils and the isolated valley nature of this site it all adds up to a unique, dynamic, and intense without being too powerful sort of Pinot Noir. This is richly colored, highly aromatic and abounding with darker/bluer sort of fruit notes and finishing with an excellent structural composition that reins everything allowing for it to be balanced and delicious in the short term while giving appropriate framing for, most certainly, medium term aging and quite possibly rewarding aging well into a second decade in bottle.”
100% pinot noir, practicing organic and moving towards biodynamic. Chehalem Mountain, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA.
