Moffett Vineyards 2020 Williamette Valley Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

The Moffett Vineyards 2020 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a light and perfumed red wine that beautifully captures the nuance of Oregon's premier grape variety. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir sourced across selective vineyard blends, this vintage highlights classic cool-climate varietal characteristics. On the nose, it delivers an inviting bouquet of plum and bright cherry fruit interwoven with subtle Italian herbs and a light, earthy undertone. The palate is smooth and highly approachable, revealing layers of fresh raspberry, tart cherry, a hint of cherry tomato, and a delicate peppery spice. It maintains a light-to-medium body with well-integrated French oak framing its elegant structure.

The Moffett Vineyards 2020 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir pairs exceptionally well with dishes that complement its light body, bright cherry fruit notes, and subtle earthy undertones. Its elegant structure and vibrant acidity make it a natural match for poultry dishes like roasted chicken, grilled turkey breast, or a pan-seared duck breast served with a berry reduction. For seafood lovers, the wine possesses just enough body to stand up beautifully to rich, fatty fish, making it an excellent companion for wild-caught salmon or pan-roasted trout. Additionally, the earthy, herbal qualities of the vintage harmonize wonderfully with vegetarian entrees centered around mushroom risotto, truffle-infused pasta, or roasted root vegetables.
