Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

The Roosevelt Vineyard is a four acre planting situated just south of the winery on Willakenzie soils. The south facing hillside points to a steep precipice overlooking the magnificent Williams Canyon. It is a high density planting with 2100 vines per acre spaced approximately one meter by two meters apart. This steep hillside vineyard undergoes extensive pruning and cluster thinning to limit yields and maximize ripening in order to concentrate the fruit.

A deliciously rich and velvety Pinot Noir, the Roosevelt also has excellent structure and explosive fruit. The deep ruby color and concentrated sweet black cherry flavors on the palate are further evidence of the tiny berries and low yields from the small vineyard. This wine will age gracefully over the next twenty years.
