The 2021 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley opens in the glass with an alluring bouquet: steeped plums, sage and ashen stones. This juicy, soothing effort has a core of brisk acidity enlivening its wild berry fruits. Sweet herbs combine with savory spice through the long and refreshing finale as hints of fine tannin add youthful poise.

Blackcap raspberry and orange-peel aromas arrive first, followed by earthy notes of oregano, rosemary and wet cedar bark. This is a medium-bodied Pinot Noir, where the moderate acidity and grippy tannins support damson plum, strawberry and cinnamon flavors. Try it with a pork bánh mì sandwich.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is magenta/ruby color and is expressive on the nose, with a floral bouquet and savory accents of wild herbs, black raspberries, toasted sweet spice, and cedar. Medium-bodied, it has ripe, fine tannins, balanced acidity and a clean finish, with good balance throughout. It’s very appealing now and will have a wide drinking window over the next 5- 6 years.
