WillaKenzie Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2016

Pinot Noir grapes for WillaKenzie's 2016 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir were grown on the Willakenzie Estate and Jory Hills Estate. Warm springtime temperatures in 2016 led to early bud break and flowering, while temperatures during the growing season were only slightly warmer than normal. This 2016 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir offers an expressive aroma profile characterized by expressive red fruits interwoven with classic Willamette Valley earth tones - notes of strawberry, raspberry, forest floor, black tea and a hint of blood orange. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and energetic and juicy, with an appropriate level of balanced acidity to work in harmony with the wine's fine-grained tannins.
