BRITTAN VINEYARDS 2023 Estate Pinot Noir (McMinnville, OR)

Winemaker Robert Brittan, a wine industry veteran with the experience of over 50 harvests, has always had a passion for Pinot noir; a love affair that began in the 1980’s when he made several vintages under his Britt Hill label with fruit from Carneros. In 2004, Robert decided to leave Stags’ Leap Winery in Napa and start a Pinot noir project in the cool climate of the northern Willamette Valley. The Brittan Vineyard lies just 12 miles southwest of McMinnville, tucked into the foothills of the Coast Range. 

The 2023 Estate Pinot Noir offers vibrant aromas of red currant, cranberry, boysenberry, and orange blossom. The palate reveals dark red fruit, orange zest, and a briary earthiness. Polished acidity and balanced structure highlight its elegant purity. Youthful and charming, this wine promises great complexity and aging potential. Pair this wine with herb
roasted chicken or foraged mushroom risotto. Enjoy now through 2038.
