Ermisch 2013 Erendira's
Rise Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
90 POINTS
This is a lighter, thinner vintage for this wine, but it offers a lot of pleasure to those with the patience to let it breathe. Delicate fruit flavors of raspberry, cherry and rose water carry a musky note. The finish is underscored with a mineral base.

Notes
Named
Erendira's Rise to commemorate the Pre-Columbian princess that overcame her
fear of horses and rode in rebellion against the Spanish. After making Malbec
in Argentina for more than a decade, but having built our business from Oregon,
we thought it fitting that we finally try our hand with the challenging variety
of Pinot Noir.

2015 vintage
From the dense fog and brilliant sun, to the high winds, cool coastal air, and diverse
terrain, California’s coast presents many challenges. And yet it’s still one of the best
winegrowing regions for producing world-class Pinot Noir. Each of the vineyards
chosen for this wine offers the best expression of their respective appellations,
carefully blended to achieve balance, complexity, and richness of flavor.
growing season
The 2015 growing season began with an early bud break and minimal rainfall
during flowering. Near-perfect temperatures after fruit set fostered an early
start to ripening. A few short but intense heat spikes followed by cooling
periods contributed to a welcome combination of ripening and tannin
maturity. Harvest saw fruit of exceptional quality from all three regions.
winemaking
Each Pinot Noir lot was kept separate in the winery, allowing for tailored
winemaking to enhance the unique characteristics of each parcel. The result
is an evocative wine that is well-balanced, richly flavored, and deliciously
complex. During fermentation, both punch-downs and pump-overs were
used to ensure balanced extraction of flavor, aromatics, structure, and color.
We aged on 100% French oak to allow the sweet and structural influences
from the oak to mingle seamlessly with the rich fruit and ripe tannins.
tasting notes
A rich garnet color with a ruby edge, the wine opens to reveal lifted fruit
aromas of bright strawberry and jammy fruit, mocha, and vanilla, along
with toasty oak notes. Expressive boysenberry, blackberry, dark cherry,
juicy strawberry, and toasty mocha flavors lend complexity and depth on
the palate. The well-integrated oak provides structure and depth seldom
seen in Pinot Noir.
Meiomi Pinot Noir has a consistent profile of supple tannins, silky texture,
and balanced acidity that makes it the perfect wine to enjoy with a wide array
of food. It pairs particularly well with tomato-based pasta dishes, thin-crust
pizza, grilled lamb, and turkey.
