Winemaker Notes

Aromas of dark cherry, cocoa and tart blackberry. Primary flavors of ripe red plum and black cherry, as well as flavors of sandalwood and toasted vanilla. The finish is dense, lush and spicy. Made with 100% Pinot Noir.

Professional Ratings

  • 92

    Supple and expressive, with elegantly structured raspberry and cherry flavors that gather appealing layers of clove and spice tea.

  • 92

    The latest reserve falls right in line with previous vintages, a full-bodied mix of blackberry, black cherry, black olive and light hints of sandalwood. It’s full-flavored from start to finish, with loads of pure fruit power. It was aged in 40% new French oak, fully supported by ripe, almost silky tannins.

  • 92

    The 2018 Pinot Noir Reserve has a medium ruby color and scents of cranberry sauce, tea leaves, iodine, wood-smoke and earth. The medium-bodied palate offers concentrated fruit balanced by abundant, grainy tannins and soft acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish. Best After 2023

North Valley Vineyards, Oregon
We use the phrase “North Valley” as a geographical reference to the area from which we source, farm and produce our artisan Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays and dry Rose. While the “Willamette Valley” appellation describes a fairly large area – almost 160 miles long, and nearly 45 miles at its widest – it is in the much smaller, northern corner of this region where its overall best vineyards are found.

Here in the “North Valley”, we work to nurture and craft our artisan wines, honoring the best raw materials that nature has to provide. Further, we seek a noteworthy diversity of sources from within the six sub-appellations of the region, giving us a broad palate of flavors and profiles from which to assemble our blends. So whether it is the Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge, the Eola-Amity Hills, Yamhill-Carlton District, Chehalem Mountain area, or McMinnville, we are there, spending time with our growers in their vineyards each week, from flowering all the way through harvest.

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.
