WINE DESCRIPTION

Laurel Ridge Barrel Select Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Laurel Ridge Winery, a family-owned winery located in the Chehalem Mountains AVA of Oregon. The wine is made from carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes grown in the winery's estate vineyards, which are known for their unique soil composition and ideal microclimate. The winemaking process involves aging the wine in French oak barrels, which imparts a rich and complex flavor profile to the wine. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced and elegant Pinot Noir, with notes of dark cherry, raspberry, and spice, and a silky smooth texture. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the finesse and complexity of a well-crafted Pinot Noir.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Laurel Ridge Barrel Select Pinot Noir has a deep ruby hue that glistens in the glass.On the nose, aromas of dark cherry, baking spice, and oaky vanilla fill the senses. On the palate, the wine is round and plush with flavors of ripe raspberry, mocha, and toasted oak. The finish is lingering and smooth, with a layer of sweet tobacco rounding out the experience. Enjoy this pleasing and velvety Pinot Noir with a savory dish of roasted duck or grilled salmon.

ORIGINS

Winery: Laurel Ridge

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.
