2011 Roots Pinot Noir Art Brut Blanc De Noir Sienna Ridge Vineyard

Estate: Roots Wine Co.
Region: Red Hill Douglas County, Umpqua Valley, Southern Oregon, Oregon, United States of America
Vineyard: Sienna Ridge Vineyard


Tasting Note:May 13, 2016

First of the three non-reds sent to us by Chris. Light yellow and lively. Beautiful nose, with just the right amount of complexity. Upon opening it was a little tight with some green apple and light woody notes. As it breathed and warmed up it added in some elements of pear and wet grass. An attack of citrus on the palate. Mainly lemon and lime, and slight undertones of freshly ground orange peel. Smooth and medium bodied with some great foamy texture. Tastes similar to a grower's champagne. Long crisp finish with bright acidity that carries through. Stunning sparkling wine. Great job Chris!
