Holloran Vineyards, Pinot Noir "Dundee Hills" Willamette Valley, Oregon, US 2022
{organic} 100% Pinot Noir
WOLFBERRY & DAMSON, CHRISTMAS CAKE & MYRRH
A fall-forward repository of sappy garnet fruit and evocative spice to be savored throughout the year, this flagship Pinot from Willamette’s Holloran showcases the estate’s impressive aptitude for communing with vineyard denizens of northeastern France, showcasing both expected hallmarks and more esoteric dimensions. Here, creamy, oak-fueled essences of vanilla, myrrh, and cola collide with foresty undertones, cinnamon, and sandalwood while never threatening to upstage a bedrock of cherryish depth and vigorous, food-friendly acidity.
Serving Suggestions: Cedar-planked chinook salmon w/ roasted sweet potatoes, garlic cloves, & Swiss chard. Five-spice jackfruit, black bean, & chestnut mushroom casserole.
