Erath Pinot Noir

A classic Oregon Pinot Noir that shows why the Willamette Valley is one of the best Pinot Noir destinations in the world: approachable, fresh, with real richness.

Erath Winery is among the pioneers of Oregon winemaking. Dick Erath planted the first vines in Dundee Hills in 1969—at a time when Pinot Noir was considered virtually impossible to cultivate outside of Burgundy. Today, the winery is one of the best-known names in the Willamette Valley and proves year after year that this region comes remarkably close to the Burgundian climate: volcanic soils, cool nights, and long ripening periods.

In the glass, the wine displays vibrant aromas of sour cherry and raspberry, underpinned by rose petals and a hint of vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied, the acidity fresh and invigorating, the tannins fine and smooth. The finish leaves a slightly spicy note—cinnamon, a touch of cedar.

Serving temperature: 14–16 °C . Best enjoyed now—this wine is designed for easy drinking, not for long-term aging. Pairs well with grilled salmon, duck breast with cherries, or mushroom risotto . Also a reliable choice as an uncomplicated accompaniment to a midweek dinner.
