INTERESTING NOTES ABOUT CARABELLA WINERY

FARMING COMES FIRST
After his decade long search for a compelling pinot noir site in Oregon, the rocky volcanic soils on the protected southeast flank of Parrett Mountain immediately appealed to geologist/winemaker Mike Hallock.

LIVE CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE
Since inception we have committed to forego using herbicides and chemical pesticides. Our vineyard is LIVE Certified Sustainable. An ongoing conversion to the native cover crops of the pre-agricultural Willamette Valley oak savannah started in 2009, with the goals of vineyard balance and improved habitat for beneficial insects.

DRY-FARMED
A benefit of gravelly volcanic soils–Nokia, Saum and Jory–is the ability to farm the entire 59 acres completely without irrigation. From the beginning our roots were forced to go deep into the soil column in search of water. We are committed to the preservation of water as a limited natural resource and are members of the Deep Roots Coalition.

Carabella Description

The 2014 Carabella Willamette Valley Mistake Block Pinot Noir is an intriguing wine. Budbreak and bloom occurred early in 2014, followed by a warm, sunny summer. This Pinot Noir, harvested from a ten-row block of Pommard grapes on September 27th, is darker and more sultry than usual. It boasts marionberry fruit flavors and lively acidity, with a rich finish. A touch of spice and smoke from 40% new French oak adds complexity.
