Stoller makes several Pinot Noirs from different Willamette Valley AVAs. This Pinot is designed to “embody the spirit of the region.” It is composed of different Pinot clones from several of those AVAs. Climatic conditions of the 2020 vintage resulted in very small grapes with concentrated juice, resulting in intense flavors. It displays a brilliant ruby color and aromas of black cherry, raspberry with notes of vanilla, baking spices and lemon zest. It is bright and lively in the mouth with juicy black cherry, raspberry fruit, citrusy acidity, and fine tannins. Enjoy it with the Oregon classic pairing with grilled Pacific salmon, roast chicken or eggplant Parmesan.
