2021 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
Our Willamette Valley Pinot Noir combines grapes from our Bryn Mawr estate, Fender's Rest Vineyard, and Stand Sure Vineyard. Each vineyard lies directly in the path of the Van Duzer Corridor, which funnels cold Pacific Ocean breezes into the Willamette Valley each day. This wine is a fantastic expression of the typicity seen in our cool and breezy section of the Willamette Valley.

Tasting Notes
Medium plum skin purple in color. The nose is rich, with notes of red cherry, baking spice, and cocoa. The palate is refreshing and light bodied, with a smooth and pleasant cherry pit finish.
Vintage Notes
The 2021 Oregon harvest will be one to remember. It was dry with heat spikes throughout the summer. Fortunately, the grapes were unaffected by the historical “Heat Dome” that descended upon us in June. The fruit was beautiful and balanced, with generous aromatics.
