2024 Incline Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir
Intense ruby red with bright reflections. Aromas of black cherry and raspberry are enriched with hints of clove, sweet spice, and a whisper of cedar. The palate is elegant and well-defined, with supple tannins and lively freshness. Gentle oak aging contributes nuances of vanilla and toast, harmoniously complementing the vibrant fruit. The finish is persistent and well-structured, with the Yamhill-Carlton terroir’s characteristic minerality supporting the wine’s refined complexity.

Accolades
James Suckling
A floral, mineral-driven, medium-bodied wine with aromas of sandstone, tart Bing cherries and rose petals. The palate is super fresh, with salty, wild herb and tangerine flavors that are really delicious. The finish is super long, and rose petals and bright cherries come through at the end along with a tangy orange peel note.
Wine Spectator
Combining intensity with grace, this Pinot offers refined flavors of cherry and raspberry laced with stony mineral and dusky spice notes while building tension toward fine-grained tannins.
