Each vintage, Robert Brittan ferments small lots of Pinot noir from each of our single blocks in open-top “puncheons,” custom-built 500L
French oak barrels standing on end with one of their heads removed. The final cuvée is meticulously assembled from these lots, producing a complex and intriguing wine of great depth, complexity and longevity.
VINTAGE NOTES
2016 was the third vintage in a row in the Willamette Valley where flowering started earlier than normal, and the weather remained warm
throughout the growing season. After a warm summer, the last ten days of the growing season gave us beautiful days in the low 70’s,
making for an easy and unhurried harvest. The grapes exhibited ripe flavors, but with more restraint and elegance as we get better and
better at handling warmer growing conditions.
TASTING NOTES
The 2016 Puncheon Pinot Noir expresses notes of blueberry, raspberry, herbal blackberry and dried cherry alongside white pepper, baking
spice, blood orange zest and fennel. This complex, savory wine is beautifully balanced with firm, bright acidity and an elegance and
roundness on the palate. Ripe fruits and a complex earthiness linger in the long finish.
