Estate Pinot Noir

Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir

The Blakeslee Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir from the enchanting Chehalem Mountains region is a sublime testament to the elegance and nuanced sophistication that Pinot Noir can achieve. Exhibiting a beautifully vibrant garnet hue, this red wine opens with enticing aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and a hint of rose petal, interwoven with subtle earthy undertones and a touch of baking spice. On the palate, it reveals a beautifully balanced profile with a silky, light body, making it exceptionally approachable and food-friendly. The bright acidity invigorates the taste buds, while the soft yet firm tannins provide a structured and refined texture. Fruit-forward yet sophisticated, the flavors of red berries, plum, and a whisper of forest floor linger delightfully, making this a generous and poised Pinot Noir that truly showcases the unique terroir of the Chehalem Mountains. This wine's finesse and complexity have rightfully earned it admiration and accolades within the wine community.

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.
