The 2017 Yamhill Valley Vineyards Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Reserve offers a medium-bodied profile with bright tart red berries, black cherry, and cranberry fruit at its core. It reveals nuanced layers of dried herbs, rooibos tea, and subtle dark chocolate, reflecting the cool-climate vintage’s long hang time. The wine’s fine tannins provide structure without overpowering its fresh, juicy red fruit character. Its smooth texture and herbal undertones make it reminiscent of classic Oregon Pinot Noirs, with a balance of elegance and depth. This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or creamy cheeses, enhancing its vibrant fruit and earthy complexity.

Serve slightly chilled to highlight its freshness and aromatic complexity.
