Day Wines Deep Blue Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2021
Grape Varietals: 100% Pinot Noir
Vineyards: Momtazi Vineyards, Johan Vineyards
Alc. By Vol.: 13.2%
Winemaking: 30% of the fruit is left whole-cluster, the balance of fruit is destemmed. No sulfur is used at the crush pad. Instead, we use CO2 to discourage spoilage yeast and bacteria, while encouraging native yeasts to take the helm. Gentle pigeage is applied throughout fermentation. Once through primary fermentation, the wine is gently pressed into primarily neutral French oak barrels, just about 15% new. 2019’s fruit aged for 17 month in barrel, 2020’s for 5 months and the two were blended just before bottling.
Reviews
Wine Enthusiast – “Day Wines Deep Blue is a blend of seven biodynamic/organically farmed Willamette Valley vineyards, including Momtazi and Johan. It has briary boysenberry and blueberry aromas, along with leather, petrichor and wet-grass notes. The wine’s grippy tannins suggest a need for decanting before flavors such as raspberry, blueberry sorbet and white-grapefruit pith come out to play. A portion of Deep Blue’s profits go to organizations that promote ocean restoration. Enjoy from 2023 until 2033.” (93 Pts)
