Perfumed aromas and flavors of bright, tart red fruit, bitter citrus peel, rose petals, bergamot and exotic spices. Lifted on the light- to medium-bodied palate, with crunchy fruit and potpourri coming through in the finish. Good value.

Pouring a transparent ruby red color, the 95% estate-grown 2024 Pinot Noir Classique is spicy and aromatic with notes of forest earth, red cherry, and floral spice. Although fully destemmed, it is remarkably expressive. Medium-bodied, it is refreshing and bright, with attractive fruit sweetness, floral lift, and a lively spice profile that the winemakers attribute in part to Lucky River fruit in the blend.

Winemaker Notes

Lange Classique Pinot Noir is an assemblage of all their North Willamette Valley vineyard sites and is a fine example of expert blending by the winemaking team, embodying true "Classique" style and spirit. Aged in 15% new French oak, grapes designated for this blend were hand-harvested and fermented separately by vineyard and block, allowing the Lange's to create this precise and tightly-focused signature wine that consistently over-delivers for the price.
