Wine Notes:
The 2025 ¡Salud! Cuvée Pinot Noir comes, as always, from things within the context of the vintage that were meaningful to us. Our vineyard home away from home spot is definitely in the Dundee Hills on Breyman Orchard Rd. 2025 marked our 29th vintage with Balcombe Vineyard and 16th vintage with Durant Vineyard. These two sites have produced a combined 84 single vineyard Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays between them in our time as Patricia Green Cellars, as well as contributing to a vast amount of other bottlings. 2025 is yet another amazing vintage here in Oregon. The hallmark of the vintage is that concentration of fruit characteristics within the wines. No place better shows that particular facet of Pinot Noir than the Dundee Hills. We selected wines from barrels that came from a larger fermenter of Durant Vineyard’s Bishop Block made with 50% whole cluster fermentation and barrels from a 100% whole cluster fermenter containing grapes from the high point of Balcombe Vineyard. These two sections of vineyard were planted in 1973 and 1990 respectively making this a true old-vine selection of top tier Dundee Hill vineyards.
Cellaring Window:
This wine will age gracefully for well over two decades of proper cellaring, however the nature of the 2025 vintage and our approach toward balanced winemaking will allow for highly enjoyable drinking well before that extended aging period.
