This cuvée is a blend of selected barrels from several excellent vineyard sites in the red Jory clay of the Dundee Hills AVA. It shows the depth and power that are typical of this area, and makes a very interesting comparison to the “Nuages” cuvée from the rockier soil of the Chehalem Mountains AVA. The 2011 vintage includes barrels from Bella Vida, Baptista Maresh, Charlie’s, Abbey Ridge, Gehrtz and Meyer vineyards.
