TASTING NOTES
The 2006 Chemin de Terre is sourced from some of the finest vineyards and estates located in the new frontier of Oregon’s wine industry, the Rogue Valley. The vineyards of the Rogue Valley are grown mostly on southeast facing slopes in soils ranging from rocky clay to sedimentary soils to serpentine soils. The long hot days and cool nights of Southern Oregon allow Bordeaux and Rhone varieties to ripen fully and beautifully. Barrel aged in French oak barrels from 100% Southern Oregon fruit. Bottled in May 2008.
