Description
The Laurelwood AVA was established in 2020 and, as such, is relatively new. It lies within the Chehalem Mountains AVA, which is in turn at the northern end of the Willamette Valley AVA. This Pinot Noir from Raptor Ridge is a very pretty version of the variety, with lifted red fruit aromatics and more structure on the palate than the seductive nose sets one up to expect. Production in 2023 was 370 cases. Oregon's LIVE-certified farming since 2017.
