About This Wine

Willamette Valley Vineyards

Whole Cluster Pinot Noir

The 2018 Estate Pinot Noir expresses the terroir of three original vineyards in the Salem Hills, Tualatin Estate in the foothills of the Coastal Range, and Elton planted on the east face of the Eola-Amity Hills. This wine exemplifies the classic "Willamette Valley-style" with complex aromas of red and bramble fruits, a round and full-bodied palate, and a balanced and lingering finish.

Wine Region

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.
