Averaen Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Our vineyards span the Willamette’s sub-AVAs, enabling us to create a wine that is a true representation of the Valley as a whole – playing off each site’s specific personality and complementary nature to create a harmonious blend. Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel and neutral foudre followed by 10 months aging in Remond, Damy, Cavin and Stockinger barrels. Textbook Willamette Valley Pinot Noir with juicy, fresh fruit and berry flavors - think dark cherry, cranberry, blackberry, more cherry. Clove, mocha, blood orange and vanilla accents abound adding complexity. The texture is ripe and plush with a line of acid running through to keep the wine vibrant. The wine is all about focus, electricity, and verve. - Josh Raynolds
