Van Duzer Willamette Pinot Noir 2023 - 750ml

91pts Vinous

The 2023 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley mixes rosy florals with lavender and dried strawberries. Lifted and graceful in style, it offers bright red berry fruits and crisp mineral tones that swirl throughout. A gentle saline tinge mingles with grippy tannins and a twang of citrus through the medium length finish.

Winemaker Notes

Opening with bright, expressive aromas of ripe red fruits—strawberry compote, raspberry, and pomegranate—layered with delicate notes of rose petal and warm baking spices. Hints of blood orange and black tea add nuance and complexity to the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with a vibrant acidity. Fine-grained tannins provide structure and lead into a long, graceful finish.
