Four Graces Pinot Noir (75cl, 13.5%)

Four Graces Pinot Noir is a 100% Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley, bottled at 13.5% ABV. The Four Graces is situated in Oregon's Dundee Hills and is owned by Bill Foley through the Foley Family portfolio. The wine is sourced from multiple estate and partner sites, including the Foley Estate in the Dundee Hills and Doe Ridge in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Primary fermentation runs 12 to 14 days, then the wine is pressed and transferred to French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation occurs naturally. It ages about nine months in French oak, with roughly 15% new barrels. The aroma leads with black cherry and red raspberry, followed by baking spice, dark chocolate, loam and pomegranate. The palate is bright with cherry and raspberry, then cranberry, pomegranate, earthy spiciness, fine-grained tannins, black tea and loam. The finish lingers with dark cherry, French oak and black tea, with polished tannins.
