This is not merely good Pinot Noir, it is exceptional and distinctive in its own right. It is bolder than La Linea, and more masculine in style.

L’Altra Linea 2014 was produced using lightly pressed extraction. It was aged 10 months in French oak (65% old, 35% new) and bottled in September 2015.

It is Giorgio Furioso’s objective, and hence that of the Furioso Vineyards Team, to make the best Oregon Pinot Noir.

La Linea Furioso – The Furioso Line – is our premier, barrel-select label, and is among the best Oregon Pinot Noir available. Its elegant, refined, and aromatically complex nature creates a distinct and unique experience.

La Linea 2014 was produced using free run extraction and “lightly directed” while aging 10 months in French oak. We used 65% old barrels, adding 35% new to give the wine extra body. Our Head of Wine Jared Etzel repeatedly tested the wine, eventually selecting 6 barrels most representative of the cellar to carry our flagship label. The wine was bottled in September 2015.

While this is a wine you can enjoy now, the complexity of its character will continue to evolve in your cellar.

As Furioso Vineyards’ Chardonnay grapes were not yet ready for production, we sourced fruit from the Terry Family Vineyard and the Lazy River Vineyard.

The Terry Family Vineyard is approximately 4 miles northwest of Carlton, Oregon at an elevation of roughly 400 feet. The Lazy River Vineyard is northwest of Yamhill, Oregon on the slope of Mt. Richmond at an elevation of 370 feet.

The wine was aged in neutral French oak barrels for 20 months to enhance the broadness on the palate. Produced with Burgundy in mind, this wine reflects the lower alcohol, higher acidity style appreciated by both foodies and Francophiles.

We were very excited in 2016 to be able to put our hands on 4 tons of Pinot noir fruit (all Pommard clone) from the Kalita Vineyard in the Willamette Valley’s Yamhill-Carlton AVA. The vines were 16 years old at harvest and their roots were deep enough to express the specific terroir of that site and its classic marine sedimentary Willakenzie soil. As a bordering vineyard to the Kalita Vineyard, our Trovato estate vineyard shares lots of similarities with Kalita – soil, elevation, macro-climate, etc. and this was an amazing opportunity for us to get a sense of what our own vineyard would be able to give us when it would start bearing its own fruit. We definitely were not disappointed.

As Furioso Vineyards’ Chardonnay grapes are not yet ready for production, this is a small, hand-crafted production made with fruit sourced from the Namaste Vineyard, northwest of Salem. The wine was fermented and aged 10 months in neutral oak before being bottled in August 2017.
