94 pts. Wine Spectator:

"A lovely, delicate Pinot, with aromas of fresh violet opening to elegantly multilayered raspberry, guava and forest floor accents, which glide on the graceful finish. Drink now through 2031." —T.F.

For those who know Pinot Noir, it's easy to identify that this wine is from the Willamette Valley. Chock full of mineral notes and red fruit flavors, it's a perfectly delightful Oregon Pinot! Easy to drink on its own, but also very food-friendly. Just plain delicious, and a bargain to boot!

FROM THE WINERY

SEVEN SPRINGS VINEYARD:

Seven Springs' eastern exposure ensures the vineyard awakens to the warmth of the morning sun. The vineyard's position opposite the windy Van Duzer Corridor, mitigates hot, sunny afternoons in the Willamette Valley with cool winds from the Pacific. As valley temperatures increase throughout the day, warm air rises, replaced by cooling winds flooding in from the Pacific through the Van Duzer gap and across our vineyard. This daily cooling, along with our eastern aspect, affords our grapes the luxury of extended time on the vine.

Since its inception, Seven Springs has been dry-farmed. The vineyard is LIVE™ certified and was converted to biodynamic viticulture in 2007. We continue to farm Seven Springs biodynamically, encouraging a healthy and sustainable ecosystem in the vineyard.

TASTING NOTES

The 2021 Seven Springs Pinot Noir is a joyful wine from a memorable vintage. An immediate impression of purity and elegance greets the drinker as bright red fruits mingle with notes of crushed red roses, black tea, and a touch of forest floor. The wine’s joyful exuberance is most evident on the palate where deftly integrated tannins give way to a beautiful and bright acidity.
