Unfurling with a tantalizingly floral nose, the Wetzel Estate Pinot Noir hails from the Van Duzer Corridor in the esteemed Willamette Valley. A profound expression of its terroir, the 2017 vintage is a symphony of ripe cherries and red berries, underpinned by whispers of earthy mushroom and delicate spice. The palate is smooth and seamless, with a rounded, velvety texture that makes this wine as inviting as it is complex. Scoring a well-deserved 95 points, it’s a testament to the fine art of winemaking in Oregon. Pair this captivating Pinot Noir with a hearty lamb stew or a cozy fireside chat – it’s a truly great value find that delivers well beyond its peers.
