Trisaetum Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2021

Trisaetum Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2021 is a meticulously crafted blend that captures the diverse terroir of Oregon’s premier wine region. This vintage is a marriage of fruit from the estate’s three distinct vineyards: Ribbon Ridge (sedimentary soils), Dundee Hills (volcanic soils), and Coast Range (marine sedimentary and volcanic mix). By blending these sites, winemaker James Frey achieves a wine with exceptional balance, complexity, and structural depth.
On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe raspberry, dark cherry, and wild strawberry, accented by delicate floral notes of violet and a hint of forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, showcasing a vibrant core of red fruit layered with savory herbs, subtle earthiness, and a touch of baking spice. The tannins are fine-grained and well-integrated, supported by the signature Willamette Valley acidity that leads to a long, graceful, and clean finish.
