Erath

2017 Oregon Pinot Noir

Erath's 2017 Pinot Noir from Oregon is an elegant red wine with a light body that is perfectly balanced with a gentle acidity, offering a moderate fruit intensity that shines through. The tannins in this wine are subtle, adding a lovely texture without overwhelming the palate. The 2017 vintage showcases the characteristic charm of Oregon's Pinot Noir, making it a delightful choice for enthusiasts seeking a well-rounded and approachable red.

Tasting notes:

Classic Oregon aromas of black cherry, plum, and currant mingle with hints of anise and sandalwood. Flavors reflect the aromatics with more cherry and plum with a touch of graham. Hearty and robust, yet smooth and approachable.

Region:

Oregon

With its rugged landscape and cool Pacific climate, Oregon is one of the world's great modern Pinot Noir regions. The Willamette Valley produces an impressive array of styles across its six AVAs, from fragrantly fruity to lush and complex. This is thanks to a range of terroirs that are eerily similar to Burgundy's in France (Oregon even lies on the same latitude). In fact, major Burgundy producers have set up in Oregon to make wine, including Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot. And it is not just Pinot Noir found in Oregon. Other benchmark grapes include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling; Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah thrive in the southern AVAs.
