The 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a blend made to capture the freshness of the vintage. To achieve this, this wine was bottled after 8 months of aging as opposed to our standard 15 months of ?levage so we could preserve the bright fruit character. Additionally, a modest 20% new French oak was used to achieve pleasant oak nuances while not overpowering the blend. The resulting wine is fruit focused and true to our terroir with great structural tannins. The purity of the raspberry and black cherry fruit coupled with notes of forest floor and dried flower.

Pinot Noir is a red wine grape variety that is widely considered one of the most challenging and finicky to grow. It is known for producing elegant, aromatic wines with flavors and aromas that can include red berries, cherry, floral notes, and earthy undertones. Pinot Noir is often associated with regions like Burgundy in France, where it reaches its pinnacle, producing some of the world's most sought-after and expensive wines.

Willamette Valley is Oregon’s most celebrated wine region, best known for elegant, cool-climate Pinot Noir that emphasizes balance, bright acidity, and expressive terroir rather than sheer power. Stretching south from Portland, the valley’s marine-influenced climate, long growing season, and diverse volcanic and sedimentary soils create wines with red cherry, raspberry, earthy spice, and floral notes. Alongside Pinot Noir, the region also excels with Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Riesling, often crafted in a restrained, Old World–inspired style. Sustainable and organic farming are deeply ingrained here, and many producers favor small-lot, site-driven winemaking that highlights vineyard character.
