From our coolest and only vineyard site in the Eola-Amity Hills comes the Crawford Beck Pinot noir. Situated at the mouth of the Van Duzer Corridor, Crawford Beck boasts the longest hang time of any of our vineyards and provides a beautiful counterpoint to the rest of our portfolio.
The nose shows hints of walnut, marionberry jam and sandlewood incense, while the bright and dynamic palate carries elements of blackberry, red currant, pencil shavings, pine resin, pepper and an overlay of floral tones. Beautifully balanced with a long finish and great ageing potential.
