Brave Cellars 2023 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

The Brave Cellars 2023 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, particularly the “Road Not Taken” bottling from Momtazi Vineyard, showcases the elegance and complexity of Oregon’s cool-climate terroir. While formal tasting notes are limited, wines from this biodynamically farmed site are known for their vibrant acidity, earthy minerality, and layered red fruit character. Expect aromas of cherry, cranberry, and forest floor, with flavors that may include pomegranate, sage, and subtle spice. This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with dishes like grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, roasted duck, or herbed pork tenderloin, complementing both savory and umami-rich profiles.
