Lemelson Vineyards Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2023 (750 ml)

The 2023 Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a blend made to capture the freshness of the vintage. To achieve this, barrels were selected roughly halfway through our more stan- dard 15 months of barrel aging and bottled early so we could preserve the bright fruit character. Additionally, second year oak barrels were preferentially selected to achieve pleasant oak nuances while not overpowering the blend. The resulting wine is thus modestly oaked and fruit focused.

The purity of the raspberry and cherry fruit coupled with notes of forest floor and dried flower makes this wine an excellent dinner companion.
