2007 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Shea Wine Cellars Salud is a remarkable 2007 Pinot Noir from the picturesque Willamette Valley. This red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, elegantly balanced with bright acidity that invigorates the palate. It has a medium fruit intensity featuring delightful notes of ripe cherries and subtle baking spices, creating an inviting aromatic experience. Tannins are present but soften the wine's richness, providing a well-structured mouthfeel without overpowering the delicate fruit character. The wine finishes with a touch of dryness, making it a versatile choice for pairing with a range of dishes. With its refined complexity and approachable nature, Shea Wine Cellars Salud embodies the essence of Oregon's Pinot Noir excellence.

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.
