ABOUT THIS WINE
Rose & Arrow Estate is an ambitious project in Oregon's Willamette Valley, founded by Mark Tarlov alongside legendary Burgundian winemaker Louis-Michel Liger-Belair and world-renowned terroir expert Pedro Parra. The project focuses on mapping the complex volcanic basalt soils of the region to produce Pinot Noir of extraordinary precision and minerality. 'The Point' is sourced from a specific parcel in the Chehalem Highlands, characterized by shallow, stony soils over fractured basalt, yielding a wine of remarkable tension, depth, and terroir expression.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Hand-harvested grapes undergo meticulous sorting. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts in small, open-top fermenters with minimal extraction to preserve the delicate fruit and mineral nuances. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, curated by Liger-Belair with a low percentage of new oak, for approximately 12 to 15 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered to maintain its structural integrity.
