" A youthful red color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is pretty on opening, with pure notes of ripe raspberries, fresh floral perfume, wet stones, and pine. Medium-bodied, it’s elegant and floats on the palate, with fine tannins and a lovely, even finish. It’s a highly charming and approachable wine that’s a breath of fresh air from the Benton-Lane team."
