Discover the elegance of Utopia Estate's 2018 Estate Pinot Noir, a handcrafted blend of twelve Pinot Noir clones grown in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Crafted from fully destemmed fruit and aged in 40% new French oak and 60% neutral French oak, this estate-grown Pinot Noir reveals layers of black cherry, raspberry, plum, and rose petal accented by notes of baking spice, forest floor, and cedar. Silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, refined finish make this wine a beautiful expression of estate terroir and clonal complexity. Enjoy now or cellar to further develop its nuanced character.
Pairs beautifully with duck confit, herb-roasted lamb, wild mushroom risotto, and cedar-roasted salmon. Its vibrant red fruit, earthy undertones, and refined structure complement both elegant cuisine and rustic Northwest fare.
