This wine offers a compelling bouquet of crushed violets and Bing cherries, complemented by dusty and savory notes. The palate is rich and ripe, balancing juicy fruit flavors with a distinctive saline touch and silky sweetness reminiscent of a perfectly ripe plum. Mineral undertones add complexity, while restrained acidity and crisp yet soft tannins provide a balanced structure.
2023 Archer’s Crest Pinot Noir
Archer’s Crest Pinot Noir evokes early summer in the Willamette Valley, with aromas of ripe red cherries, crushed violets, and subtle spice. The palate bursts with juicy raspberry and cherry, supported by soft, earthy tannins and a lingering finish of clove and nutmeg. Bright acidity adds lift without overpowering. Generous and expressive, this wine pairs beautifully with herb-crusted porchetta, where rosemary and oregano echo the wine’s savory notes.
