NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Benton-Lane Pinot Noir First Class is a beautiful expression of the Willamette Valley in Oregon.Its aromas of black cherry, plum, and earthy spice fill the nose, while the palate is rich and silky, with flavors of dark fruit, coffee, and a hint of anise. The finish is long and lingering with bright acidity and a hint of oak. Enjoy this delightful Pinot Noir now or cellar it for years to come.

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.
