Anahata Vineyard pinot Noir 2023
Purple in color with a wide reddish/ purplish rim. Pretty color.
Fruity nose of plums, cherries, spices, light earth, herbs, dark chocolates and black pepper.

This is a very tasty Pinot Noir from Williamette Valley in Oregon. Smooth and fruit forward. Complex, spicy and interesting.
Feels more like a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.
Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already very approachable.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is tangy and easy drinking. Good right out of the bottle, soft and elegant.
100% Pinot Noir grapes were fermented with wild yeast, and aged in (30% new) French Oak barrels for 12 months.
