2015 Tualatin Estate Pinot Noir
Tualatin Estate Vineyard rests in the foothills of the Oregon Coast range and is one of the oldest plantings in Oregon, planted in 1973 by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller, and now in the newly approved Tualatin Hills AVA. The unique Laurelwood soil profile at the Tualatin Estate Vineyard contributes to the complex nature of the wines.
Tasting Notes: Focused notes of florals, including violet and lavender, flow into ripe red fruits of cherry and raspberry accented by nutmeg and cedar aromas. The palate is satin textured over an elegant frame of bright acidity and firm tannins surround mouth-filling flavors of cranberry, earth and savory herbs.
Food Pairings: Brined Turkey with all the fixings, Herb-Roasted Pork Tenderloin, Duck Breast with Pomegranate-Citrus Glaze, Butternut Squash and Roasted Mushrooms.
Peak drinkability: Now - 2025.
