These grapes come from a section of vineyard planted in 1982 back when people were not worried if they were “wasting” land on a humble grape such as Early Muscat as opposed to planting Pinot Noir.  We are happy to get fruit from this quirk of Oregon’s historical space-time continuum.  Fermented on its skins, pigeaged rarely, pressed lightly and aged in neutral barrels for a sort period of time, this wine is evocative of many of the things that make this area of the world unique and delicious.
