Light, almost transparent, with pretty strawberry and raspberry flavors touched with vanilla on the silky finish. Drink now. 26,000 cases made.Oakland California native Dick Erath is one of the genuine wine pioneers of Oregon. His story could fill a book and as a matter of fact it does (The Boys up North - Dick Erath and the early Oregon winemakers by Paul Pintarich, published by The Wyatt Group). During years of home winemaking in the San Francisco Bay Area, Dick fell in love with older French Burgundies.In the 1960s, while traveling up and down the west coast in search of an ideal place to grow Pinot Noir, he finally settled in 1967 in the then unproven northern Willamette Valley, where two years later he planted his first vines in the Chehalem Hills. His 1972 vintage consisted of 216 cases of Pinot Noir, Riesling and Gewurztraminer which were sold under the Erath label.
