2021 Las Jaras Oregon Pinot Noir

From Las Jaras website:

We have been making Pinot Noir from the La Belle Promenade Vineyard in Oregon since 2018. It is a unique site at high elevation on a southwestern facing slope along the bucolic hills of the Chehalem Mountains.  The vineyard is dry farmed organically and is planted to Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner and Mondeuse Noir. Although appellation rules do not allow us to label this bottle with its specific provenance (this is because we trucked the grapes from Oregon back to our winery in California), this wine is a pure expression of the La Belle Promenade Vineyard. The 2021 vintage in Oregon was one with reduced yields and intense fruit. Since the vineyard is so far away, we rely on the experience and expertise of our dear friend Grant Coulter who manages the vineyard and makes wine for both Flaneur and his own Hundred Suns wineries. Our picking window is on the lower end of the ripening scale because we would like to achieve a wine that has tension and tautness.

As always, this wine turned out quite stunning. There is such a classic Burgundian vibe (think Beaune) from this wine that we are enamored by.
