“Smera” means smile in Sanskrit, the wine that makes you smile!
Smera Vineyards 2021 Estate Pinot Noir is its 2nd vintage and it already shows quite a bit of complexity. Aroma of black cherries, and chocolate lead to flavors of raspberry. Soft and approachable wine with great structure and a round finish. This Pinot Noir is a blend of Pommard, 115 and 777 clones and it fermented in 33% new french oak medium toasted barrels.
Smera Vineyards is located in McMinnville AVA in Willamette Valley, situated at 600 ft elevation with Jory, Nekia and Geiderman soils. During the growing season it gets hot during the days and Van Duzer winds kick in the evening cooling the vines. The vineyard is farmed organically and wine is made with naturally available yeast.
