The 2023 00 Wines VGR Pinot Noir begins with lifted aromas of crushed pomegranate, Bing cherry, dried rose petals, and forest floor dusted with cedar shavings. As it gathers on the palate, the wine leans into flavors of wild strawberry and subtle spice tones, supported by a soft earthiness that adds quiet depth. Its medium weight allows the fruit to glide easily while the tannins stay finely textured and subtly gripping. A gentle thread of allspice appears near the finish, giving the wine a warming contour that lingers with polished ease.

his wine is expressive and bright, a part of the 00's assemblage series, crafted from different sites in the Willamette Valley. Aromas of woodland berries and pine boughs offer a fresh contrast to the forest floor and red cherries. Ripe red strawberries, and mint leaf on the forepalate, finishing with layered darker fruits, rich forest floor and salty ocean minerality.
