Van Duzer Dijon Blocks Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, USA 2022

Van Duzer’s 2022 Dijon Blocks Pinot Noir is a cool-climate, site-driven expression of Pinot Noir sourced from their windy estate in the Van Duzer Corridor of the Willamette Valley. In the glass, it offers aromas of black cherry, sun-warmed strawberry, and red plum, with a subtle echo of cocoa from barrel aging. On the palate, it balances ample yet well-integrated tannins, clean acidity, and a round, polished finish — all informed by the constant breeze of the Van Duzer Corridor, which concentrates the fruit and slows ripening for greater complexity.
