'Ancient Seabeds' reflects its 200 million year-old terroir opening with aromas of bergamot and ripe berries, then leading to a palate rich in cassis, complemented by earthy beetroot undertones and well-integrated tannins.

Bellpine Soil: Under the weight of the Pacific Ocean, Marine sedimentary soil is derived from sandstone and ocean floor shales. Shallow and low in nutrients, vines must develop deep roots to access the water and minerals needed for fruit production. Among the oldest soils in the state, Bellpine soil formed over 200 million years ago during a collision of the tectonic plates that caused Oregon to rise to sea level and buckle into the coastal and cascade mountain ranges that contain the magnificent Willamette Valley.
