Van Duzer Estate Pinot Noir

Grown in the Van Duzer Corridor, a natural gap in Oregon's Coastal Range where cool Pacific winds sweep into the Willamette Valley, this Pinot Noir reflects the long, breezy growing season that defines the estate. The constant marine air keeps the fruit fresh and slows ripening, giving the grapes time to develop real depth of flavor without losing their natural acidity. On the nose and palate, expect a bright mix of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry, often layered with subtle notes of baking spice, vanilla, and toasted oak from aging, along with savory, earthy undertones like forest floor or dried herbs. The tannins tend to be soft and well-integrated, the acidity lively, and the finish long — a wine built for both immediate enjoyment and some time in the cellar.
