James Rahn 2019 Rainsong Vineyard Pinot Meunier

Willamette Valley, Oregon. This comes from a coastal high elevation vineyard site, and really shows what Pinot Meunier is all about. The nose shows cedar, tart cherry, raspberry, cranberry, and just there minerals and vanilla. The palate is light in weight with good acid and a flavor set of tart fruits, earth, and lingering spice. D&M Tasting Notes

When he isn’t running the wine program at The Heathman, James operates a small and growing winery specializing in single-vineyard wines with minimal manipulation through SE Wine Collective in Portland. James’ inspiration behind wine making stemmed from the realization that although he loved introducing wines to his diners as a sommelier, he wanted to be “the guy who actually put the juice in the bottle”. Winery Notes
