2022 Firesteed Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley

Deep. Velvety. Enduring.

The 2022 Firesteed Pinot Noir from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA is a study in depth and elegance. Grown in the region’s ancient marine sedimentary soils, this wine stands in bold contrast to its volcanic neighbors, offering a darker, more brooding profile that is characteristic of this esteemed appellation.

This vintage showcases remarkable richness, opening with aromas of black raspberry, clove, and a hint of dried tobacco. On the palate, layers of dark cherry and wild plum are grounded by earthy undertones and savory spice. The finish is velvety and long, supported by polished tannins that promise excellent aging potential.

A sophisticated expression of Oregon Pinot Noir that balances power with "Grace and Beauty."

Pairing Suggestions: The structure of this wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like braised short ribs, grilled lamb chops with rosemary, or a savory wild mushroom tart.
