J. Christopher Lumiere Pinot Noir 2014 750ml

The J. Christopher Lumière Pinot Noir 2014 is a beautifully crafted Oregon Pinot that showcases the finesse, structure, and elegance of the Willamette Valley. Named "Lumière" (meaning “light” in French), this wine embodies a luminous expression of Pinot Noir—bright, balanced, and layered with complexity.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Medium ruby red with garnet hues.

  • Nose: Aromatically expressive with red cherry, raspberry, dried rose petals, forest floor, and subtle baking spices.

Region & Winemaking:

  • Region: Willamette Valley, Oregon

  • Vintage: 2014 – a warm and balanced vintage in Oregon

  • Winemaking: Minimal intervention with native yeast fermentation and aging in French oak barrels (a portion new) to preserve purity and terroir expression.
