Division "Un" Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2022

The Wine:

A balanced and nuanced Pinot Noir that we simply adore.

In a region so well known for Pinot Noir, the challenge is creating a distinct voice that speaks to our vision of this legendary grape. Matching the right approach to the site and vintage is key to our approach. As in years past, we approach the Pinot Noir “Un” cuvée as our opportunity to make a vintage character wine in our lighter, finesse-driven style. It is a Willamette Valley cuvée wine designed to perform well above its price point.

Our Pinot Noir vineyards are farmed with a focus on sustainability. Our mission to work with only organically and/or Biodynamically farmed and 100% herbicide-free sites is almost complete, with all but one vineyard hitting our criteria.

Back-to-back cool climate years have graced us with a balanced and nuanced Pinot Noir that we simply adore. The aromatics are savory and significant while ethereal at the same time. A deep spicy earthy undertone in the nose of the wine features rhubarb crumble and cardamom. The palate is lithe and unique with a balance of baking spice, wild berry concentration, and mid-palate minerality.

Drink up now or hold for days, months, or years!
