The Wine
2017 Sibling Revelry Pinot Noir is sourced from brother-sister duo David Nemarnik of Alloro Vineyard and Diane Nemarnik of Nemarniki Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. Growing and winemaking has been a Nemarnik family passion and tradition for generations. The fruit is harvested, fermented and barreled down in small lots separated by vineyard block, clone and yeast strain. These sustainably grown and farmed sites produce a bright, rich Pinot noir with dark fruit notes and spicy, textured tannins.
