Description
Our Estate Cuvée Pinot Noir presents with both finesse and power—the mark of truly site-reflective wines. Within the Willamette Valley, the WillaKenzie Estate is unparalleled in its diversity and focus on sustainable practices. Variations of slope, aspect, soil and clonal selection allow winemaker Erik Kramer to create six single-vineyard Pinot Noirs with discrete identities. The Estate Cuvée Pinot Noir is a tribute to this diversity and to Erik’s blending instincts, marrying the most distinctive attributes of select parcels on the property with Emery, Aliette, Clairière, Kiana and Triple Black Slopes playing key roles. This wine spent approximately one year in 55% new French Oak barrels.

Complex and site-driven aroma profile with notes of black cherry, black raspberry, baking spices and traces of forest floor. On the palate, the wine is vibrant, energetic and juicy, with a tension that works in harmony with the wine’s fine-grained tannins.
