Illahe Willamette Pinot Noir '22

With a 91-point score, this value-driven Pinot Noir showcases Illahe's commitment to balanced, food-friendly wines. The 2023 vintage offers bright aromas of cherry, pomegranate and forest floor. Medium-bodied with silky tannins, the palate delivers flavors of raspberry, cola and a touch of baking spice. Aged 10 months in neutral French oak, it emphasizes fruit purity over oak influence. The finish is clean and refreshing, making it an excellent match for roasted salmon, mushroom pasta or herb-roasted chicken. Proof that great Oregon Pinot doesn't require a premium price.
