The 2019 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a complex wine with layers of flavor. It has floral notes of lavender and violet, and spicy aromas of black pepper, cedar, tobacco, and bergamot tea. The wine also has notes of darker fruits like black cherry, currant, and cassis.\n The 2019 vintage in Oregon was cooler than recent years, which led to wines with juicy, elegant fruit, fine tannic structure, and lingering acidity. The cooler vintage marked a return to the region's signature elegance.
