2022 Oregon Territory - Pinot Noir (750ml)

From Paul O’Brien Winery’s Oregon Territory label, the 2022 Pinot Noir delivers an approachable, character‑driven expression that celebrates Oregon’s broader Pinot landscape beyond the Willamette Valley.

Sourced from dry‑farmed vineyards spanning both the Umpqua Valley and the Willamette Valley, this bottling captures Oregon’s terroir diversity south and north, while staying mindful of an accessible price point. The wine is fully open‑top fermented with a portion of whole clusters, a method chosen to add lift and spice without heavy handed extraction.

This combination of dry farming and a gentle, native‑style winemaking approach gives the wine real character while remaining inviting.

Tasting notes: A bouquet of rose petal, dark raspberry, and jasmine leads to a soft, round palate carrying plum, black cherry, and vanilla. Refined tannins and steady acidity keep the finish long and smooth rather than heavy.

Food pairings: Roast chicken, grilled mushrooms, or a simple charcuterie board complement its fruit and spice profile, making it a versatile option for everyday or entertaining occasions.
