This 2023 Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir opens with fragrant notes of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, savory hoisin, and umami, interwoven with hints of forest floor and subtle spice. On the palate, silky tannins frame layers of juicy red fruit and earthy undertones, leading to a long, elegant finish. Bright acidity and a touch of minerality highlight the unique terroir of the region, making this a beautifully balanced and expressive wine.
