The “Trilogy” blend, as we affectionately call it, allows us to work with Pinot noir, as its authentic self. In the high acid soils of the Willamette Valley the cultivars pH can skyrocket as it approaches ripeness leading producers to adjust this through tartaric acid additions, a conflict with our brand philosophies. However, by utilizing Gamay noir (which in the Willamette gives vibrant low pH/high acid wines of ample acidity and deep color) and Trousseau that brings lifted fruit and earth tones of beets and rhubarb without weight to the palate. Making this a natural representation and best example of a regional wine of terroir from varieties that have long grown together in their ancestral home and are now grown together in this cool pacific maritime environment of the Willamette Valley.
