Appellation
Willamette Valley

Tasting Notes
The Pinot noir, Villages Cuvée has robust sweet spice aromas with
lovely black cherry, smoky berry and dark rose notes. Juicy and pungent
flavors of dark cherry, wild strawberry, allspice, cinnamon with a touch of
smoke fill your mouth. Beautifully balanced with soft tannins and fresh
acidity, the finish slowly fades into supple dried fruit and spices. Still young
now the wine will fill out through the winter and into the spring. This is my
favorite wine for Thanksgiving and flavorful white meat dishes. It is just as
good with burgers, brats and pizza. Enjoy now through 2030.
For the first time ever, our 2023 Villages Cuvée Pinot noir includes fruit from our estate, Enchanted Way Vineyard. This inclusion has elevated the flavor profile of the resulting wine, with the character of our estate vineyard dominating the nose and the palate.
