Colene Clemens Pinot Noir 'Dopp Creek'

Located in the western end of Dopp Road where the Chehalem Mountains converge with Ribbon Ridge, this 122-acre property was acquired in 2005 and first planted in 2006. Starting at 350ft of elevation and rising to 650ft, this rocky south facing hillside is a mix sedimentary and volcanic soils, predominantly Wellsdale and Witzel. Current plantings now total 40 acres divided up among 5 different clones of Pinot Noir, 3 Dijon as well as Pommard and Wadensvil.

Bright, rich, and another homerun Dopp Creek Vintage, it flows out of the glass with notes of ripe, sun-ripened raspberry, dark cherry, baking spicy, thyme, and just a hint of cocoa. Medium+ bodied, if you've loved it in the past, you're gonna' love the 2022.

'Sleek yet well-structured, with expressive flavors of raspberry and pomegranate accented by crushed stone, rose petal and black tea as this builds tension and polish toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2033.' - Wine Spectator, 93 points
