2016 Chehalem Reserve Pinot Noir, 1.5 L Magnum (2 bottles):

This is the year of Earliest Ever. The winter was warm, budbreak was early and 2016 never looked back; bloom, veraison and harvest , all early records. Harvest began in August and was done before October. Although early, the growing season wasn't as hot as the prior three, but still the same new warm norm. Fruit is fully ripe but not overripe, moderate alcohols, good enough acids and intense, easily extracted, dense wines, from 15% smaller berry sizes and yields. Potentially an excellent-to-classic vintage.

2018 Chehalem Reserve Pinot Noir, 1.5 L Magnum (2 bottles): The 2018 vintage was magic. Following the trend of the past several vintages, summer was warm, but nighttime temperatures remained cool, helping the fruit to hold its natural acidity. As harvest approached, temperatures cooled ever so slightly, creating perfect fruit ripening conditions. With no big rainstorms on the horizon, we never had an urgency to pick. Once we started picking fruit, the vintage was slow and consistent with perfect flavors and lab numbers. The 2018 vintage will produce fantastic wines.

*Only available for pick-up at the Atlanta office. Cannot be shipped.*
