00 Wines Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir, Oregon, USA 2023
‘Chehalem Mountain Vineyard’ Pinot Noir 2023, Willamette Valley, Oregon
A remarkable single-vineyard Pinot Noir from 00 Wines, sourced from own-rooted vines planted in 1968 by Oregon wine pioneer Dick Erath. This historic site on Chehalem Mountain produces a wine of striking elegance, depth and mineral precision. Aromas of hibiscus, wild strawberry, red cherry and rose unfold into layers of citrus peel, mint, cedar and subtle forest-floor notes. The palate is beautifully balanced, combining silky texture and vibrant acidity with finely structured tannins and a long, savory finish. This is a compelling expression of Oregon Pinot Noir that marries old-vine character with remarkable freshness. A must-have for Burgundy lovers and collectors seeking a distinctive, age-worthy Pinot Noir from one of the Willamette Valley’s most intriguing producers.
