Red dry
Perkins Harter Bracken Pinot Noir 2019 is a cool-climate style red wine that reflects the unique terroir of the Eola-Amity Hills appellation in Oregon. The wine's character is shaped by the Bracken vineyard, situated on western terraces at an elevation of approximately 190–230 meters.
The aroma is dominated by a clean and expressive red berry profile—cranberries and cherries—harmoniously complemented by subtle notes of herbs and mild sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, featuring vibrant acidity, smooth, velvety tannins, and a juicy depth that transitions into a long finish of warm spices.
The wine was fermented and aged for 11 months in oak barrels (25% new and 75% used).
Recommended to serve at 14–16 °C. This wine pairs perfectly with duck breast, wild poultry, mushroom dishes, roasted pork, and medium-aged cheeses.
