Description
This sophisticated Pinot Noir comes from the hands of Rollin Soles, a true pioneer of Oregon winemaking whose very first vintage was famously served at the White House. Named after the unpaved paths leading to premier high altitude vineyards, this wine captures the essence of the Willamette Valley with its vibrant fruit and elegant balance. By using a gentle whole berry fermentation process, the winery ensures a smooth and velvety texture that avoids any harsh bitterness. It is a wonderful find for anyone looking for a world class red that feels both luxurious and approachable for a casual dinner.
