Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

We are excited to release our Witness Tree "Estate" Pinot Noir – the wine that is really a "snapshot" of our entire vineyard – which ultimately reflects the blending of the flavors and textures produced by the varying soil types, vine ages, clonal-selections and sun-exposures from our 52-acre vineyard. The wine itself is packed with succulent, forward black fruits with just the slightest hint of vanilla and spice. The season provided us with graceful and spirited Pinot Noir - the kind of beautiful wine that put Oregon on the world map of premier Pinot producers in the 1980's.

Professional Ratings

91 Wine Spectator
Dense and focused, with a distinct minerality to the cherry and cassis flavors, which keep dancing lightly through the refined, harmonious finish. Needs time to soften the edges. Best from 2013 through 2020.
90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2008 Pinot Noir Estate Willamette Valley offers up a fragrant perfume of earth notes/underbrush, spice box, incense, mineral, and red fruits. On the palate it is smooth-textured, intense, and concentrated with excellent volume. This lengthy effort can be approached now but will drink well for another 6-8 years

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

View all products

Home of some of the planet’s most amazingly elegant and expressive Pinot noir, the Willamette Valley is a pastoral, mixed landscape of green, bucolic rolling hills, dramatic forestlands and small, independent, friendly wine growers. As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. While the valley claims a cool, continental climate, and is heavily influenced by the cold, moist winds of the Pacific Ocean, its warm and dry summers allow for the steady, even ripening of Pinot noir.

The potential of Willamette Valley Pinot noir continues to attract the investment of serious growers and winemakers both locally and from abroad, as naturally the finished wines bring accolades from professionals and enthusiasts. With a range of styles from delicate dried cherry, raspberry and hibiscus to stronger notes of truffle, mocha, plum and spice, a fine Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a perfect expression of both character and grace.
