Tasting Notes: After a strong swirl, this earthy wine shows a pale ruby hue with hints of blue. Bursting with fresh blackberry and plum aromas, the Cedar + Salmon Willamette Valley Pinot Noir gains earth and herb nuances with time. Ripe red plums and red cherries command the smooth palate, accented by a dash of herbs. A drying finish full of dark fruit rounds out this easy drinking Pacific Northwest red wine.

Winemaking Notes: Gentle handling and destemming at the winery retains freshness and preserves the texture sought after in Pinot Noir. The grapes ferment on their skins for 10-14 days and then are gently pressed to tanks for settling. The wine ages in French oak for 9 months before being racking for blending and bottling.

    Highly aromatic, with an exotic floral incense and ripe cherries. Dusty and dry on the palate, with plum skin, red tea tannins, and Italian herbs, ending with a rich earthiness.
