2023 Patricia Green - Pinot Noir Chehalem Mountains Lia's Vineyard (750ml)
2023 Patricia Green Lia’s Vineyard Pinot Noir from the Chehalem Mountains is the final release from this distinguished vineyard designation. Guided by Patricia Green Cellars’ traditional, hands-off philosophy and continued by Jim Anderson, this wine embodies the site’s signature lift and finesse. Crafted as part of Patricia Green’s reputation for small-lot, single-vineyard bottlings, Lia’s Vineyard delivers a transparent, aromatic expression that mirrors the vineyard’s character with elegance and restraint.
The wine presents a transparent medium ruby color with aromatics and flavors that feel lifted and precise. Expect red cherry and strawberry framed by a chalky, wet-stone mineral texture, all held together by bright, persistent acidity. On the palate, it remains medium-bodied and approachable, crafted to show its charm in its youth while inviting thoughtful enjoyment now rather than long-term cellaring.
