Product Highlights
The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity, light tannin and a long, complex finish. Bright cherry and raspberry notes showcase the climate of Chehalem Mountains, while the McMinnville region brings fresh pomegranate and hibiscus flower to the glass. The palate reveals the cola and cinnamon spice notes of Yamhill-Carlton AVA, and earthy mushroom and black tea notes presented on the finish hail from Raptor Ridge's source vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills area.

Expert Reviews
This acid-driven barrel selection is light on its feet and eager to please. The wine's aromatics misdirect with rich blackcap raspberry and dark chocolate-covered strawberry aromas. Then the first sip feels fresh and clean, with a crisp texture and tart red cherry and lemon flavors. What a wild ride.

A juicy, bright and fruity red with aromas of wild raspberries, strawberries, cinnamon stick, watermelon and vanilla. Medium-bodied with easy tannins. Bright and moreish. Drink now. Screw cap.

Vibrant and tangy, with fresh raspberry, green tea and spice flavors that finish with supple tannins. Drink now through 2032. 2,330 cases made.
