Stoller Family Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 750ml

Sourced from a collection of premier sites in the Willamette Valley, this wine is designed to embody the spirit of the region. Showcasing a myriad of Pinot Noir clones and Willamette Valley AVAs, this wine spent almost a year of élevage. The result is an approachable wine that can be enjoyed during its youth. The nose is dark and earthy, with notes of sandalwood, bramble, and black cherry. The palate is structured by fine-grain tannins that lift vibrant red fruit flavors through the finish.

A pretty plum color, this fills the mouth with sweet blackberry and marionberry fruit. The acidity is buoyant and the tannins proportionate, and it's a well-crafted, moderately powerful wine. It finishes on the chewy side, as the tannins clot up and turn a bit earthy. PAUL GREGUTT-Wine Enthusiast
