Grape Ink 'Days Until Harvest' Pinot Noir 2023

A totally delicious Oregon Pinot. The perfect balance of juicy fruit and forest floor. An earthy wine that will still please a crowd. Winemaker and Poet Jarad Hadi was born and raised in the Willamette Valley. He returned home after earning a masters degree in winemaking & viticulture from the University of Bordeaux and producing wines in all corners of the globe. The poet in him comes out when he describes the Grape Ink philosophy: “Study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.” 

A wine that finds its voice in generosity of conversation through space and restraint like a deep dialogue with a friend that listens. “A pure wine in which I can taste the soil where it was grown. I can taste the wind, the volcanic land and smell the gardens that are next to the vineyards. Bayleaf, tobacco, dark tea, red fruit,” Jarad says.
