2024 Stoller Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

TASTING NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER

Our 2024 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir captures the quiet elegance of Oregon in every glass. Aromas of cherry and cedar rise from the glass, leading into vibrant flavors of pomegranate and cacao nibs. The palate is supple yet structured, with fine tannins and a bright line of acidity that carries through a long, graceful finish. Crafted to elevate both everyday momets and special occasions, this wine reflects the beauty and balance of the Willamette Valley.

VINTAGE OVERVIEW

We are forever grateful the 2024 vintage provided near-perfect fruit quality. Warm temperatures and a heat spike in May initiated early flavor development. June brought cooler weather, causing bloom two weeks later than usual. By summertime, the diurnal swings of more than 35 degrees created concentrated flavor with balanced acidity in the fruit. Mid-August presented an unusual rain event, giving the vines a healthy drink of water. As we started harvest, Mother Nature presented incredible, sunny days with crisp nights, ensuring our fruit was cold and berries were intact through destemming and fermentation. We knew this year would be special while walking the vineyard, and the wines reflect this exceptional vintage.
