Rhythm Child is a dry, estate-grown Willamette Valley Pinot Noir made entirely from Dijon clone 115, with strawberry, red plum, tart cherry, rhubarb, baking spice, and a subtle cola note. Generous through the palate yet still fresh, it brings integrated tannins, a graphite edge, and a smooth, balanced finish - a steady beat of fruit, structure, and ease.

Naming Inspiration
Inspired by "She's a Rhythm Child" by The Jackson 5. The name reflects the way this Willamette Valley Pinot Noir moves - generous red fruit on top, natural structure underneath, and a steady pulse that keeps everything in balance.
