Tasting notes
This semi-sweet wine opens with luscious aromas of citrus, tropical and stone fruits. The mouthfeel is juicy with bright acidity that activates the palate and displays flavors of peach, pineapple, lychee, clove and honeycomb. The finish is wonderfully persistent with a balance of sweetness and refreshing crispness.
Estate
One of the longest serving estates in Oregon, Willamette Valley Vineyards was founded in 1983 by Oregon wine pioneer, Jim Bernau. Jim cleared away an old pioneer plum orchard in the Salem Hills to start his first vineyard. Over time Willamette Valley Vineyards has considerably increased their estate vineyards. Willamette Valley Vineyards sources all of its Pinot Noir from their nearly 500 acres of estate vineyards. Since the winery founding stewardship of the land has been a key principle in our winemaking. They practice environmentally sustainable farming and are part of the founding of the Low Input Viticulture and Enology (LIVE) program.
Food pairing
Serve well-chilled and allow to warm in your glass for optimal enjoyment of aromas and flavors. Perfect as an aperitif or as an ideal pairing to spicy Asian dishes, seafood and rich cheeses. This wine is versatile enough for dessert pairings like fruit pies or crème brûlée, or savory options like an artisan cheese plate.
