Knudsen Vineyard Pinot Noir Family Willamette Valley 2021

This fresh-faced Pinot noir from the Dundee Hills of Oregon is a bright ruby red, fading to a gentle salmon pink. Red raspberry, spiced cherry, and blood orange emerge from the glass, followed by gentle notes of cola and quinquina. The body is light and linear with a good balance of youthful fruit and complex spices with a whisper of oak in the background. The fruit turns pleasantly tart on the palate with suggestions of orange blossom and allspice, supported by crisp acidity and a pleasantly long finish.
