2007 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

The 2007 Willakenzie Estate Cuvée, crafted from the exquisite Pinot Noir varietal, exemplifies the elegance and complexity that Willamette Valley wines are renowned for. This red wine showcases a brilliant ruby hue that invites the senses, while its medium-bodied profile delivers a harmonious balance of richness and finesse. A vibrant acidity dances on the palate, enhancing the wine's refreshing character and providing an invigorating lift. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of ripe cherry and wild raspberry, seamlessly integrated with hints of baking spices and earthy undertones. With soft, well-integrated tannins, this wine presents a velvety mouthfeel that lingers gracefully, culminating in a dry finish that leaves the palate yearning for another sip. Perfect for pairing with roasted duck or mushroom risotto, the Willakenzie Estate Cuvée shines as a splendid representation of its terroir while celebrating the versatile charm of Pinot Noir.

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.
