Tantalus Rosé Looney Vineyard Oregon 2024
Ribbon Ridge, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesThe pinot noir fruit was source from the Looney Vineyard in Ribbon Ridge AVA Oregon from a parcel that the winemaker David Paterson had worked in earlier in his career. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and the juice fermented in a combination of stainless steel and older Pinot Noir barriques and then rested on the fermentation lees for 3 months. This begins with elegant notes of roses, cranberry, pin cherry, as well as delicate sweet spice. The palate is a gossamer version of pinot noir showing lightly textured soprano red fruits, held in a masterful balance as subtle as Champagne. The fruit intensity and style lies somewhere perhaps between Provence and Tavel.
