‘Monogram’ exemplifies the greatness of Oregon Pinot Noir, fulfilling Ken Evenstad’s vision of a robust and more structured style of Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley. Made in extremely small volumes, ‘Monogram’ is carefully hand-selected from our finest barrels, and only produced when the vintage is appropriate.
This sophisticated release is the quintessence of harnessed energy. Intensity and power are present in equal measure with nuance and elegance. Mouthwatering fruit reminiscent of ripe black Morello cherries is supported by firm tannins and a touch of barrel spice. The 2016 ‘Monogram’ Pinot Noir demands a prominent spot in any serious collector’s cellar.
