Red Wine by Johan Vineyards from Willamette Valley, Oregon. The goal behind the Estate bottling is to make a wine that is representative of the whole farm. If the winery were to harvest all of their Pinot Noir grapes and make one wine this is the wine it would be. They achieve this on a micro scale by selecting small parcels of fruit from every combination of rootstock/scion, slope, soil profile, and vine age on the property. They then vinify, age, and bottle this wine separately from our other lots. This bottling is always the most representative of the growing year. It incorporates every element of the farm for better or worse. It is the most accurate representation of Johan Vineyards' terroir.
