2022 Chehalem MTN Pinot Noir

"A handsomely structured red, with a vibrant core of tannins and minerally acidity framed by blueberry and guava flavors. Accents of forest floor and dusky spices gather tension toward medium-grained tannins." - Tim Fish

"The 2022 ‘Chehalem Mountains’ Pinot Noir is a beautiful bottling by winemaker Jared Etzel. On the nose this takes on layers of red currants, menthol and salty soils with pine needle accents. The palate is fresh and very pure with bright red fruits that parade with orange zest and copious minerals. Medium-bodied and delicious, showing a soft mouthfeel, enjoy now and over the next decade." - Dr. Owen Bargreen

"This single vineyard selection is bursting with spicy red fruits. Ten months in barrels (some new) adds a hint of peppery cinnamon. Aromatic and delightfully full-bodied through the mid-palate, it brings out Bing cherry and red plum as it breathes." - Paul Gregutt
