Winemaker Notes
The wine presents a dark ruby color with deep density and hues of purple. Plum and blueberry aromas jump from the glass, while hints of vanilla, iris and blanched almond remain restrained. On the palate this dry wine offers copious dark berries and plums, with savory fresh oregano and the faint richness of maple syrup and graham cracker. The texture is round, rich and bright, while the balanced tannin and complex finish suggests a far more mature Pinot Noir.
Fewer calories and less sugar in wine isn’t enough. In fact, LifeVine research revealed that 94 percent of wine drinkers are concerned about pesticides in their wines. Second only to the importance of higher antioxidants. In response to this trend, Lifevine has crafted wine that fits their lifestyle without compromising taste and alcohol levels. Lifevine wines are tested in an accredited analytical chemistry laboratory for 213 harmful environmental and industrial contaminants and toxins. Lifevine wine is a Clean Label Project Purity Award winner. Lifevine is also a proud supporter of the Life Time Foundation. The Life Time Foundation's mission is to help children live healthy, happy lives. Their grants allow school district partners to eliminate highly processed, unhealthy foods from school meals.
Home of some of the planet’s most amazingly elegant and expressive Pinot noir, the Willamette Valley is a pastoral, mixed landscape of green, bucolic rolling hills, dramatic forestlands and small, independent, friendly wine growers. As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. While the valley claims a cool, continental climate, and is heavily influenced by the cold, moist winds of the Pacific Ocean, its warm and dry summers allow for the steady, even ripening of Pinot noir.
The potential of Willamette Valley Pinot noir continues to attract the investment of serious growers and winemakers both locally and from abroad, as naturally the finished wines bring accolades from professionals and enthusiasts. With a range of styles from delicate dried cherry, raspberry and hibiscus to stronger notes of truffle, mocha, plum and spice, a fine Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a perfect expression of both character and grace.
