Biggio Hamina Pinot noir Deux Vert 07
Biggio Hamina's Deux Vert Vineyard Pinot noir 07 achieves the winemaker's goal of producing a wine with fine structure and perfumed aromas. Dark ruby in color, scents of lavender and violets mix with a hint of dust. Big earthy blackberry and black currant flavors finish with structured firm tannins. This is a wine to cellar or to decant before serving now.
The Biggio Hamina Deux Vert Vineyard Pinot noir 07 was fermented with 72% whole clusters. It was aged in 38% new oak. The vines average 14 years of age, and are planted on Willakenzie soil. The vineyard is adjacent to Shea Vineyard and Willakenzie Winery.

Biggio Hamina's Todd Hamina moved to Oregon in 1996 and took a job as a vineyard worker for Archery Summit. He worked in various jobs at Elk Cove, Patton Valley, and Momtazi wineries before striking out on his own in 2007. Todd draws inspiration from the winemaking methods of Burgundy and Alsace. He produces an ambitious range of whites and reds.
Todd describes his winemaking style: "I want to make wines with fine structure, lovely perfumed aromas, and viscous density. They won't be shy, but at the same time they should not hit you over the head with a club. My goal has always been to make subtle, supple and satisfying wines".
