NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Kramer Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir is a testament to the finesse and elegance that Oregon's Willamette Valley terroir can impart to this noble grape.On the nose, this wine exudes a bouquet of ripe red cherries and strawberries, interwoven with subtle earthy undertones and a whisper of sweet spice, likely a nod to its time spent in French oak.
The texture is silky, a characteristic often sought after in Pinot Noir, with a weight that is substantial yet not overbearing. The acidity is well-balanced, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the fruit and contributing to a structure that suggests this wine has the potential to age gracefully.
It is a wine that could be enjoyed now, particularly when paired with dishes that complement its profile, such as herb-crusted salmon or a mushroom risotto, but it also promises further development and depth with a few more years in the cellar.

ORIGINS
Winery: Kramer Vineyards
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
