Belle Pente Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2023

This young wine is energetic with vibrant fruit and a lingering interplay of acid and tannins on the finish. 

100% Pinot Noir. 12 months barrel aging with two rackings (barrel to barrel, and barrel to tank for bottling).

The 2023 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir leans heavily on their Belle Pente estate vineyard, supplemented with several barrels from two other Yamhill-Carlton vineyards: Aileron Hill and Foxy Rock. This vineyard mix is almost identical to their 2021 version, and is likewise reflective of a warm growing season with an early, compressed harvest.
