Rhythm Child is a dry, estate-grown Willamette Valley Pinot Noir made entirely from Dijon clone 115, with blackberry, black raspberry, dark cherry, and subtle vanilla spice. A generous dark-fruit core meets smooth, well-defined tannins and a steady, composed finish - structure that keeps the wine moving without stealing the spotlight.

Naming Inspiration
Inspired by "She's a Rhythm Child" by The Jackson 5. The name of this Pinot Noir reflects Dijon 115's natural backbone - the steady pulse of structure beneath the fruit that keeps the wine moving and everything in balance.
