WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The 2022 vintage was spectacular in the Willamette Valley, as is reflected in this dense, supple and flat-out delicious Planet Oregon Pinot Noir. The aromatics captivate with chocolate and fresh berry scents; the smooth, rich palate brings those flavors along with orange peel, pie cherries and sweet toast.
TASTING NOTES:
This is a planet you want to live on. The wine’s rich raspberry-jam and lilac aromas make a perfect foil for a meaty note similar to seared steak. Blueberry and candied-rose-petal flavors are joined by an interesting wood note that may conjure up childhood memories of building toy rafts with popsicle sticks.

A young, snappy Pinot, featuring vibrant cherry and pomegranate flavors highlighted by black tea and dusky spices. Finishes with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2032.
