Winemaker Notes
Experience the pure artistry of Oregon winemaking with the 2022 Firesteed Pinot Noir. Crafted from hand-selected grapes across the state, this vintage embodies the perfect harmony of nature and expertise.
Firesteed Pinot Noir is light ruby red in color with bright aromas of cherry and perfume on the nose, followed with a textural palate bursting with red fruits, earthy notes, and toast. Silky tannins complement the long, lingering finish accompanied by hints of spice, vanilla, and French oak.
While the Willamette Valley and Pinot Noir are a like a fairy tale match made in heaven, most of Oregon is in fact, a glorious source of Pinot noir. Claiming over half of its total area under vine, Pinot noir also thrives in Southern Oregon’s Umpqua and Rogue Valleys where sedimentary and volcanic soils dominate hillside vineyards and cool temperatures create the perfect environment for Pinot noir. Also, Oregon’s Columbia Gorge is becoming increasingly popular for Pinot noir production. What sets Oregon Pinot noir apart from the Pinot of other regions, both New and Old World, is its innate combination of grace with both power and restraint.
