A smooth, seamless wine that seems to melt in the mouth, offering mild red and black cherry flavors and subtle oak spices. Surprisingly light in body for something so generous. Soft tannins and a decent amount of acidity add good balance. Drink now.

Wine Type: Red

Rich blackberry and caramelized sugar aromas will put you in the mod [sic] for a crumble straight out of the oven. Then bright acidity takes over, shining its spotlight on flavors of boysenberries, nutmeg, filberts and black tea. This is a balanced wine, with silky tannins and a lively mouthfeel.

Macerated with 6% whole cluster fruit and then aged for 10 months in 25% new French oak, the 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir from David Paige boasts a medium shimmering ruby core with a light pink rim. Rich with black cherry, dusty herb, cola, and toasted anise notes, the palate is open and inviting, with additional black raspberry and sweet spice mixing well with the fine-grained tannins.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is spicy, with nuances of wild strawberry and dried herbs forming its bouquet. It's round and supple with ripe wild berry fruits, complemented by hints of cola and spice cake. This lingers long, staining the palate in primary concentration as silky tannins add a lovely punctuation to the experience.
