“Our Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a blend of fruit from No Clos Radio (53%), Silvershot Vineyards (40%), and BeckenRidge Vineyard (7%)—three own-rooted, organically farmed sites. Vine age ranges from 20 to 48 years. The majority of the fruit was destemmed, but there is about 17% wholecluster inclusion. All fermentation was spontaneous and the average length of maceration was 14 days before pressing off into a mix of French, Hungarian, and Oregon oak. The wine aged for 9 months in barrel before being racked once then bottled without fining or filtration.” — Jim Fischer + Jenny Mosbacher, Fossil & Fawn

Staff Review:
"I dig Fossil + Fawn. They have a very minimalist / natural approach, which in this case has let the fruit shine! Classic Oregon Pinot Noir characteristics here: a balance of fruit + Earth. Nice & light"
