Earthy and truffle-scented, this food-friendly Pinot is hearty, yet complex. Drink in the forest fresh flavors seasoned with anise and vanilla. This wine is a rustic keepsake to be enjoyed from 2009 to 2018. -Gary Horner, Winemaker Vineyard Overview Gary Fuqua (pronounced foo-quay) is one of Oregon’s vineyard pioneers; he first planted vines on his prime Dundee Hills site in 1972. This seven acre vineyard, at a mean elevation of 600 feet, is located on the east flank of Worden Hill Road. The complexity of the wines made from Fuqua Vineyard is derived from 20-year-old vines rooted deeply in weathered basaltic soils. Vintage Overview A favorable, mild and dry spring resulted in an exceptional fruit set. Through the summer and fall, the weather conditions remained advantageous and the fruit continued to develop under warm and dry conditions punctuated with brief heat spikes. The warm weather continued through September and October which significantly condensed the harvest period. Cooler and slightly wet conditions arrived in late September as sugar levels began to soar, the delayed rains allowed the fruit to develop mature flavors and achieve optimum ripeness. The 2006 vintage produced red wines displaying a rounded intensity of pure fruit, acid and tannin.
