Deep Blue is a blend of seven biodynamic or organically farmed vineyards in the Willamette Valley; Cassin, Roshni, Johan, Momtazi, Nemarniki, Finnigan Hill and Claygate. The vineyards and barrels we selected were chosen for their deeper, blue and black fruit attributes, as well as their lush and silky textures. Think blueberry pie with baking spices, unsweetened cocoa powder, dark cherry, black raspberries, and summer in a conifer forest.

We used 30% whole clusters to give the wine a good tannic structure, and the ample acid shows good promise for aging prospects.

A portion of the profits of Deep Blue will be donated to organizations who promote the restoration of our oceans. It is important to us to continually offer wines that can promote and support causes we believe in.

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)
