Expert Reviews
A challenging wine to make, says winemaker Amael Orrego, who crafts the blend of this wine across 82 Pinot Noir blocks. The wine captures the freshness of the Willamette Valley and its bright red berry aromatics that combine with savoury herbal notes of mint and pennyroyal. The palate offers red fruited complexity. Ripe wild strawberries, cranberries and mint rise up from elements of earth and forest floor for an impressive wine, capturing the fresh, lively character of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir with broad distribution.
Vivid black cherry comes together with sage, shavings of orange zest and spice as the 2022 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley comes together in the glass. This is racy with cooling acidity and ripe red and blue fruits that saturate. Grippy tannins amass toward the close. It tapers off long and structured, leaving a pleasantly bitter tinge as hints of exotic spice linger on.
