WINE DESCRIPTION
Van Duzer Estate Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Van Duzer Vineyards, located in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The wine is made from grapes grown in the estate's sustainably farmed vineyards, which benefit from the cool ocean breezes that flow through the Van Duzer Corridor. This unique microclimate allows for a longer growing season, resulting in grapes with complex flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle handling, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and balanced, with notes of red fruit, spice, and earth. It is a perfect representation of the terroir of the Willamette Valley and a must-try for Pinot Noir lovers.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This estate pinot noir from Van Duzer is a brilliant example of the varietal.On the nose it has beautiful aromas of red cherry and pomegranate intertwined with hints of rose petal and smoky oak. On the palate, the juicy red fruit flavors are joined by subtle earthy notes, light tannins and a hint of spice. The finish is long and silky, leaving you wanting more. This is a superbly balanced, highly drinkable pinot noir that will be a welcome addition to any wine cellar.

ORIGINS
Winery: Van Duzer
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
