2022 Founders' Reserve Pinot Noir

Willamette Valley Vineyards was established in 1983 by a dedicated group of wine enthusiasts committed to producing among the highest quality Pinot Noirs while being good stewards of the land. As a tribute to these individuals, we created this special blend of Pinot Noir.

On the Nose: Black cherry, licorice and red currant provide myriad fruit aromas alongside sweet French oak notes of star anise and baking spice.

On the Palate: A sweet and lightly spiced palate includes candied cranberries, cola, dried plums, cracked pepper and white pepper flavors. The present tannins and French oak barrel regiment allow this wine to age up to eight vintages, offering an opportunity to cellar the wine and rediscover it years later.

Food Pairings: Enjoy with classic pairings like salmon, pork blanquette of pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto and aged cheeses.
