The Oregon Pinot Noir bottling is the cornerstone of the Erath wine portfolio. A blend of different vineyard sites from the northern Willamette Valley, this wine is a fruit forward, ready-to-drink style of Pinot Noir. New oak was used sparingly so as to not mask the purity of fruit. Two-thirds of the fruit used in this wine is from our estate vineyards located in the Dundee Hills viticultural area.
Black cherry aromas, underscored by sweet mandarin orange, greet the nose as warm, clove-laced vanilla wafts gently among subtle hints of anise and caramel. The wine opens on the palate with more hints of sweet black cherry, which flows seamlessly into a supple silkiness. A long, clean fruit-filled finish is punctuated by a playful wink of youthful tannin.

"The Pacific Northwest may be youthful in its wine production, but it certainly produces some beauties. Try Erath Oregon Pinot Noir 2008, a lush pinot with bright cherry and raspberry flavours, a hint of spiced fruit and a lovely, lingering finish. Very seductive.
