WINE DESCRIPTION
Benton-Lane Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Benton-Lane Winery, located in the Willamette Valley appellation of Oregon. The winery is known for its sustainable farming practices and the use of organic and biodynamic methods. The Pinot Noir grapes are sourced from the estate vineyards, which are situated on gently sloping hillsides with well-draining soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a classic example of Oregon Pinot Noir, with a medium-bodied style, bright acidity, and flavors of red fruit, earth, and spice. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate elegant and complex wines.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Benton-Lane Pinot Noir is a ripe, juicy and silky expression of the variety, with a nose of dark cherry, mocha, and baking spices.On the palate, it is full-bodied and round, with an ample core of blackberry and raspberry fruit, balanced by ripe tannins and a hint of earthy complexity. The finish is long and lingering, with notes of spice and a hint of oak.

ORIGINS
Winery: Benton-Lane
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.CUSTOMER RATING
