The 2019 Boedecker Willamette Valley Pinot Noir ‘Distinction’ offers a bright, aromatic profile with layers of ripe strawberry, blueberry, and a hint of black fruit, accented by subtle notes of cracked pepper and earthy undertones. Its structure is elegant and refined, with polished yet firm tannins and a light to medium body that sets it apart from the richer, more opulent Pinot Noirs of California. This wine balances fruit purity with savory complexity, making it a standout example of Oregon’s cooler-climate style. Enjoy it slightly chilled alongside roasted salmon, mushroom risotto, or a charcuterie board for a versatile and satisfying pairing.
