2015 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

This red wine showcases a medium body that offers a smooth and velvety mouthfeel, making it incredibly enjoyable. The acidity is bright and lively, perfectly balancing the wine's rich fruit intensity, which reveals prominent notes of cherry, raspberry, and hints of earthiness. Tannins are present yet soft, lending structure without overpowering the delicate fruit flavors. As a dry wine, it invites sips that reveal its complexity, making it a delightful choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions. A true gem from Oregon, this wine embodies the elegance and finesse that the region is renowned for.

Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
