Benton-Lane Pinot Noir Red Wine - 750ml Bottle

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.
Ripe red plums, pie cherries and mountain blueberry interplay with exotic spices, coastal forest floor, and dried flower petals on the nose of this classically styled Pinot Noir. Full, plush, and elegant textures are held together smartly with fine grained tannins and a gentle, bright acidity. The wine finishes with raspberries, dried cranberries, and lingering earthy plum.
