WINE DESCRIPTION
Cardwell Hill Estate Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Cardwell Hill Cellars, a family-owned winery located in the heart of Willamette Valley, Oregon. The wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the estate vineyard, which benefits from the region's unique terroir and microclimate. The vineyard features well-drained soils, gentle slopes, and a cool maritime climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's elegance and balance. The resulting wine is a classic example of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, with a medium body, bright acidity, and flavors of red fruit, spice, and earthy notes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Cardwell Hill Estate Pinot Noir is a delightful expression of the classic Oregon varietal.Aromas of blackberry, raspberry, and cedar lead to a palate of cherry and cranberry, with hints of earth and spice. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, while the finish is long and lingering. Enjoy this wine with grilled red meats, aged cheeses, and wild mushrooms.

ORIGINS
Winery: Cardwell Hill
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
