Cleo's Hill Pinot noir 06

Cleo's Hill Pinot noir is made by the owners of Murto Vineyard, from their own fruit. Murto VIneyard is the sourced for fruit that goes into wines from Ken Wright and other top wineries.

Winery tasting notes: "Cleo's Hill Pinot Noir is made from the oldest vines in the vineyard - Pommard and Wadensville - planted in 1978. The wine is luscious with hints of raspberry and cherry. A spicy, peppery finish with earth overtones is unique to our vineyard. A glass of this Pinot is a perfect compliment to a cold winter evening with simple food and good friends (or simple friends and good food)."

Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

From the winery: "Murto Vineyard is a small old family-run vineyard, located in the Dundee Hills in Oregon. Our passion is Pinot and we strive for perfection - knowing that wine really is made in the vineyard. Murto Vineyard was established in 1978 with initial plantings of Pinot Noir - Pommard and Wadensville clones. We've added more Pommard, some 115 clone Pinot Noir and nearly an acre of Pinot Gris."

"The vineyard sits in a sheltered south-facing location, ranging in elevation from 400 to 700 feet. The red jory soil adds its magic to the wine - complexity, earthiness, richness and a unique peppery finish."
