The 2009 Pinot Noir Cattrall Brothers Vineyard (the oldest organically certified vineyard in Oregon planted in the early 1970s) was native fermented with 75% whole clusters from the Wadenswil clone. Aging was in entirely neutral oak. Pale ruby red in color, it sports fragrant aromas of spice box, cherry cola, brown sugar, incense, and floral notes. Velvety-textured, complex, and elegant on the palate, it is a forward effort meant for drinking now and over the next 6-7 years. Big Table Farm combines the efforts of winemaker Brian Marcy and artist Claire Carver. They bought property outside Gaston very near Elk Cove Winery in 2006 but, to this point, the wines have been made from purchased fruit. Ms. Carver is a label designer so each new wine from Big Table Farm has its own unique label.Tel. (503) 662-3129; www.bigtablefarm.com
