Alexander, tell them what they’ve won!
C’mon, you didn’t think you’d get through a Willamette Valley BD offer without a Pinot Vertical, right? A bottle from every year, 2013-2017. Take a tour of what was going on in Oregon, starting with two bottles from the Ugly Duckling year of 2013 that everybody wrote off, turning out to be elegant and beautiful with some age. 2014 through 2017 were all warm years, but all warm years do not produce the same wines–see for yourself. Higher elevation and earlier picking (I pick on pH just as much as Brix) result in hot vintages that have all the weight and fruit power that one expects, while retaining the structure and brightness that comes with not letting the acidity disappear. The 2017 PDX is a pre-release wine, available to you all today only! I’d add a 2018 for the full 6 years, but I haven’t released any yet – they’re still shaking off their teenage tart/reductive angst.
