Description
This artistic expression of Oregon Pinot Noir will remind you of a crisp autumn day. Sourced from three distinct blocks within the Zena Crown Vineyard, this complex wine is bold without being too over the top. Thanks to the constant, cool breeze rolling through the Willamette Valley's southern most growing region, The Sum has a crunchy texture and tight acidity. The nose leads with briar patch, lightly roasted coffee and rosy perfume with rich flavors of pomegranate, Nutella and fennel bulb.

Amassed from multiple vineyard blocks and clones, balancing on a tense tightrope between nerve and opulence. A serious wine that bridges beautiful, bouncy Pinot fruit with the more solemn undertones of earth and fall decay, and the digital clarity of summer pop radio fades to reveal more complicated notes of cracked leaves, umeboshi plum, licorice root, and sassafras. 40% whole-cluster fermentation bolsters the wine, sustaining the tannic imprint and lingering as a sort of familiar, can’t-quite-place-it ambient noise.
