2015 Le Cadeau Rocheaux Pinot Noir

The Rocheux cuvée is sourced from the rockiest portion of our estate vineyard – the warmer Western slope, an area high in content of broken volcanic basalt. These blocks are naturally warmer each season due to the Southwestern-facing exposure and late afternoon sunlight that heats the rocks below the vines. Cool nights, however, balance this heat resulting in ripeness and depth with an underlying mineral structure characteristic of Le Cadeau Vineyard. 147 cases produced. Le Cadeau Pinot Noir is produced exclusively from estate-grown fruit. Our hillcrest vineyard is situated in the southwest corner of the Chehalem Mountains AVA in the North Willamette Valley of Oregon. Diverse slope aspects, extremely rocky soils, and carefully selected clones give our Pinot Noir wines their distinct personality.
