2025 Willamette Valley Pinot Meunier Barrel-Aged
A vibrant, brilliantly fresh red wine alive with plush forest berries, delicate floral aromas, and a crisp, playful energy.
The Story
While it is famous for playing a starring, secretive role in the world's finest Champagnes, Pinot Meunier deserves the spotlight all on its own. Our 2025 Willamette Valley vintage is a beautifully bright, garnet-colored red that captures the purely joyful, fruit-forward side of the Pinot family. It is effortlessly light-to-medium-bodied, offering an incredibly smooth and refreshing sip that leaves you immediately reaching for another.
To preserve its energetic personality, we carefully balanced its time in the cellar to let the grape's natural charm take center stage. The result is a wine defined by its brightness and clarity—brimming with juicy fruit and an undeniable freshness that makes it the ultimate crowd-pleaser for sunny afternoons and elegant dinner tables alike.
Tasting Notes
The Aroma: Highly aromatic and expressive, bursting with fresh red currants, wild strawberries, and a pretty hint of crushed rose petals.
The Palate: Crisp and lively, layering bright pomegranate and tart cherry flavors with a subtle, savory touch of white pepper.
The Finish: Clean, zesty, and refreshing, with a mouth-watering finish that keeps the palate feeling entirely alive.
Perfect Pairings
Because Pinot Meunier naturally carries a vibrant acidity and soft tannins, it is one of the most versatile food-pairing wines you can find. It shines beautifully alongside:
Duck confit or roasted pork loin with a plum reduction
Grilled salmon or seared ahi tuna
Charcuterie spreads featuring creamy brie, prosciutto, and fig jam
Holiday favorites, making it the perfect match for a classic thanksgiving turkey dinner
