Grape: Pinot Noir

Origin: Dundee Hills, Oregon

Description: Violets and freshly-turned earth are hallmarks of Stoller Vineyards Pinot, whose grapes come from the red soil of Oregon’s Dundee Hills. Spicy ripe cherry/ berry flavors are balanced by soft tannins and spice on the finish, resulting in subtle power and elegance. An iron fist in a velvet glove.

Food pairing: Pork or Lamb, roasted, grilled, stewed, or slow-cooked in a clay pot with plenty of earthy veggies.
