2022 Memoirs pinot noir BTG 12 BTL 45
Memoirs is a tribute to fond recollections of my family. This beloved picture was captured of my parents back in 1953, enjoying a leisurely al fresco lunch in the beutiful mountains of Lebanon.
The 2022 Memoirs is a blend of pinot Noir crafted from all the the vineyards I source fruit from. The nose is perfumed with black cherry, spice medley and damp clay. Vibrant on the palate, with layers of red/black fruit and a hint of blood orange. The finish is elegant and complex. It's approachable young but will benefit from time in the cellar. Best from 2024 to 2032.

ABOUT ayoub:
Never a dull moment. The Ayoub Vineyard and Winery were born out of Mo Ayoub’s passion for food and wine. After a careful search, Mo found the land he dreamed of nestled in the Dundee Hills.
The Ayoub Vineyard was planted in 2001. Since 2004, Mo has been dedicated to producing wines of balance and complexity; wines that are exciting to share, rewarding to the patient collector, and magical – end to end.
Starting in 2009, Mo sourced additional fruit from some of the best vine
yards in the valley, and expanded his production to include Chardonnay and other single vineyard designate Pinot Noirs. In 2010, Mo tore down his garage to build a small winery on the Estate property, and all wines are made there now. Though he only recently quit his “day job” in engineering, Mo’s fanatical focus on producing the highest quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (plus a couple other secret gems) has inspired collectors of Willamette Valley wine since his first release in 2004. His culinary background, combined with a true appreciation for culture and hospitality, have earned distinction for the Ayoub Wines. Total production will remain less than 2,000 cases per year to have better control over the wine’s quality
