St. Reginald Parish, Reggie 2019

Pinot Noir

Willamette Valley, Oregon

“If there's one wine that showcases the arch of this winery more than any other, it's Reggie. What started as a way of trying to coax out something resembling Cru Beaujolais from North Willamette Pinot Noir, Reggie has come to be the North Star of our work in the winery.

Delicate, balanced, mineral, present / persistent tannins, possibly more in common with white wine than red in some ways...which is how Andy says Pinot Noir of this ilk should be. There were only 6 barrels chosen for this wine and we've been reserving the bottles for release for two years since we didn't produce a 2020 version; So yeah, there's not much of it, but damn, it's delicious. Optimum drinking window is right now till we sell out.

Fruit: Hidden site in the Tualatin Hills AVA. 100% Pinot Noir

Winemaking: Whole cluster Pinot Noir fermented semi-carbonic with no SO2. Fermentation via ambient yeasts. Fruit pressed after four weeks in tank and wine was racked to barrel for 11 months before bottling. Small SO2 addition added one month prior to bottling. Unfined / Unfiltered.” -The Marigny
