About This Wine

The 2023 Benton-Lane Pinot Noir, from Oregon's Willamette Valley, reflects a cool growing season that contributed to its character and concentration. Its aroma presents a mix of red fruits, like cherry and cranberry, accompanied by subtle hints of unripe blueberries, savory herbs, and a touch of violet.

On the palate, it exhibits a lush and balanced profile, with a textural intensity and fine-grained tannins. You'll find notes of ripe berries and plum, complemented by a delicate minerality. The wine concludes with a bright, lasting freshness, making it a versatile complement to a range of dishes, including poultry, beef, and game.
