{"title":"Jess Miller","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the words of her distributor Vom Boden, “Jess Miller is a badass!”. She tended the vines at Clos Roche Blanche in Touraine with Julien Pineau. While working with Alice and Olivier de Moor in the vineyards, Jess was lent a copy of one of their favorite pruning guides. She decided it was awesome. Then, with a no-big-deal demeanor, she decided she should translate it from the French. Then, with the same nonchalance, she got a book deal and published it in 2018. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe did all of that while maintaining her day job as a vineyard manager for twelve acres in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA in Oregon. For her labor she gets a little bit of fruit which she weaves into some of the most distinctly delicious and unique Pinot coming out of Oregon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs you have probably picked up by now Jess is truly a vigneron spending almost all of her time in the vines. But she is a lot more than that. Vom Boden put it so perfectly succinctly when he wrote that she is “vigneron-dirty-fingernailed-philosopher-party-animal-recluse-pickup-driving-animal spirit that radiates an energy and goodwill that is almost palpable”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo it's no surprise that her wine is a revelation. Her Pinots have that deep, dark-fruited textural thing that has made Oregon so famous. But, they seem to have calmed down all the plushness giving her wines defined edges, an uncommon energy and a subtlety that is as loud as silence. They are bouncy and airy and filled with a wild spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/jess-miller.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
