Dear Friends:
I am so excited to offer you the 2016 Manifest Destiny. This wine is everything you expect from even the Retour Pinot Noir. It is powerful, focused, balanced and supple with gorgeous acidity and fine integrated tannins that lead to a persistent and spicy finish. I hope you will have the opportunity to enjoy this extremely limited wine.
While the meaning of Retour is the french term for going back, or homecoming, Manifest Destiny is about leaping forward, taking a risk and achieving one's full potential. It is a true reflection of ideal American values, a celebration of independence, innovation, exploration and determination.
SIX GENERATIONS AGO, my family embarked on a perilous journey to explore unmarked territory. In 1847 they crossed the United States and arrived via The Oregon Trail. Determined to set roots in the ‘promised land’ they founded three towns, a hotel, grist mill, flour mill, lumber mill, a schoolhouse, two general stores, built bridges and ferries, orchestrated the railroad development and served on the first territorial legislature that signed Oregon as part of the Union in 1859. Their solid determination and adventuresome spirit played a significant role in the development of territories, the western frontier and creating Oregon as a state. It is an honor to keep the entrepreneurial spirit alive.
2016 Manifest Destiny Pinot Noir | Willamette Valley
There is a profound connection that traces back to the pioneers of this bountiful and fertile region. Therefore, it is such an honor to continually offer a wine that matters. A wine that has purpose, a wine that shares the history and soul of this glorious place.
I always look forward to hearing from you and celebrating the release of new vintages together. Thank you for your support, it is deeply appreciated. In the true spirit of the Harvest season, I am wishing you bountiful heaps of joy, love, happiness and great health.
May your glasses and hearts be full... and like always, may your corks fly straight and your aim be true!
Yours Truly,
Lindsay Woodard
