The major contributor is the namesake Battle Creek Vineyard, a 110-acre site south of Salem in the Cascade Foothills, with contributions from nearby Waldo Hills, Roe on Ribbon Ridge and Yamhela in Yamhill-Carlton. If offers aromas of fruit punch with Bing cherry and plum juice, black currant jam, jasmine and a touch of moist earth. The structure is smooth, round and long featuring dark currant and chocolate with cherry skin tannins and pomegranate acidity.
