J. K. Carriere Gemini Vineyard Pinot noir 06

Winery: JK Carriere

JK Carriere Gemini Vineyard Pinot noir 06 has exquisite aromas of licorice and roses with a nice combination of weight and finesse and the palate. A clear standout of the rare 2006 Oregon cuvees.

64 cases made. Highly regarded. The winemaker says: " This Pinot noir delivers dark fruit, iron and cherry on the nose. The palate is fresh, built on a frame of ripe red cherry, linear acid and mouth-filling tannin. Well balanced, it finishes on a long and dark tail-out of graham".

The Laurelwood soil of Gemini Vineyards is a rich wind-blown loess, which contributes vigor to the plants and good acid to the wines made from these grafted 15-year-old, Scott Henry–trained, Pommard-clone Pinot noir.
