Description
Fresh raspberries and sour cherries on the nose, and spices such as black pepper and cardamom in the back, mingle with hints of earthiness and herbs redolent of dried thyme and fresh pennyroyal. Medium bodied with a vibrant, textured midpalate. Marked by elegant tannins and balanced acidity, this is a complex, nuanced wine with a long finish.
Benton-Lane Winery was founded by Steve and Carol Girard, lifelong winemakers and pioneers of the Willamette Valley. It was the pursuit of the perfect spicy and silky Oregon Pinot Noir that convinced them to move from Napa Valley to the Willamette Valley over thirty years ago. Their pioneering spirit led them to their remote estate property where they planted their sustainably grown vines in a historic sheep ranch. Today, Benton-Lane is still farmed by Steve Girard, who uses a proprietary blend of sustainable, organic, and biodynamic methods. Benton-Lane is proud to have received more ‘Top 100 Wines of the Year’ than any other still wine producer in Oregon and continues to create remarkable estate wines that express the character of their farming and the Willamette Valley View More
