This is always a classically styled Willamette Pinot Noir made to reflect the vintage results every year, not taste the same each year.  All of the main sub-regions of the Willamette Valley are represented in this wine: Chehalem Mountains, Yamhill-Carlton, McMinnville, and Eola-Amity Hills.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource Vineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTuscowallame Estate 53%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrawford Beck Vineyard 16%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZenith Vineyard 11%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAtticus Vineyard 10%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTemperance Hill Vineyard 3%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBellevue Cross Vineyard 3%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeredith Mitchell Vineyard 2%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGran Moraine Vineyard 2%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSustainable, Organic, \u0026amp; Biodynamic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvest: September 13 - 23\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCold Soak for 5 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFermentation and maceration for 17-19 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe oak regimen is all French for 10 months: 15% new oak, the balance 1-3 years used.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABV: 13.75% pH: 3.57\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBottling: August 27, 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur Barrel Select is often touted as a tour of Willamette Valley in a glass. This 100% Pinot Noir is made by carefully tasting and specifically selecting 100 barrels for the program from each of our Single Vineyard sites. Represented in the blend are the Willamette Valley sub-AVAs of Chehalem Mountains, Yamhill-Carlton, McMinnville, and Eola-Amity Hills. These prime vineyard sources showcase diverse soil types, microclimates, and clonal selections highlighting how skilled winemaking can knit together varied aspects of the Willamette Valley to create a balanced \u0026amp; comprehensive wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinemaker: Shannon Gustafson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinegrower: Scott Shull\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairing \u0026amp; Serving Suggestions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe palate is medium bodied with bright acidity, light tannin, and a long, complex finish. Bright cherry and raspberry notes showcase the climate of Chehalem Mountains, while the McMinnville region brings fresh pomegranate and hibiscus flower to the glass. The palate reveals the cola and cinnamon spice notes of Yamhill-Carlton AVA, and earthy mushroom and black tea notes presented on the finish hail from our source vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills area. We encourage serving this wine between 55-65°F. This wine pairs easily alongside cheese and charcuterie, baked salmon, roasted chicken or pork, and leaner red meats such as duck breast or filet mignon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Willamette Valley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44302877851782,"sku":"OR-RaptorRidge-Barrel","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/RaptorRidgeBarrelSelect_31dce569-bbbb-4409-a6e9-d898dcd0746d.png?v=1763845929","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/raptor-ridge-pinot-noir-barrel-select-2024","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
