WINE DESCRIPTION

Ayres Pioneer Estate Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Ayres Vineyard & Winery, located in the Willamette Valley appellation of Oregon. The vineyard features a unique combination of volcanic and sedimentary soils, which impart a distinct character to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and sorting the grapes, followed by fermentation in small batches using native yeasts. The resulting wine is aged in French oak barrels for 10 months, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The style of Ayres Pioneer Estate Pinot Noir is elegant and refined, with notes of dark cherry, raspberry, and spice, and a silky texture that lingers on the palate.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Ayres Pioneer Estate Pinot Noir is a classic example of a cool-climate Pinot Noir.On the nose, aromas of dark cherry, earth, and anise mingle with notes of cedar and dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied, with well-structured tannins and bright acidity. Flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and baking spices are complemented by a hint of minerality. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of oak that adds complexity and depth. This is an elegant and balanced wine that will pair well with roast pork, salmon, and mushroom dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Ayres

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
