The Granville "Holstein Vineyard" Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2023 is a testament to the unique terroir of the Dundee Hills in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Known for its rich volcanic soils and a climate that nurtures Pinot Noir to perfection, this vineyard produces wines of exceptional elegance and depth. The 2023 vintage is no exception, offering a nuanced bouquet of red berries, earth, and subtle spice, with a palate that balances vibrant acidity with a smooth, lingering finish.

Composition: 100% Pinot Noir. The vines are rooted in Jory soil, a reddish volcanic soil that is well-draining and mineral-rich, enhancing the complexity of the wine.
Winemaking: The fermentation process is meticulously controlled, with a combination of whole cluster and destemmed fruit, ensuring a balance of fruit intensity and structure.
Aging: The wine is aged in French oak barrels, 30% new, for 12 months, contributing to its refined texture and subtle oak nuances.

Wine Critic Reviews

Owen Bargreen (96): This crazy good 2022 Pinot Noir was sourced from the famed Holstein Vineyard which was originally planted back in 1972. Loads of freshness combine with wet stone, Nori, white truffle shavings and shades of wild blackberry. Very smooth and rich throughout the drinking experience, this is already a joy to consume now. Savor this beauty over the next twenty years to come.
