Old Vine Reserve

2009 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

The Kason Vineyards Old Vine Reserve Pinot Noir from the esteemed Willamette Valley showcases the remarkable character of this iconic region. With its medium-bodied profile, the wine presents an enticing bouquet of red fruits, including cherry and raspberry, along with subtle notes of earthiness and spice. Its acidity is bright and refreshing, providing an exquisite lift to the palate and enhancing food-pairing possibilities. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, adding structure without overwhelming the delicate fruit. This delightful Pinot Noir is perfectly balanced in terms of dryness, allowing the luscious fruit flavors to shine. The 2009 vintage has matured beautifully, offering depth and complexity that are a testament to the old vines from which it originates.

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.
