Evesham Wood Pinot Noir 2022

Evesham Wood is one of Oregon's most beloved and historically significant small wineries — founded by Russ Raney in 1986 in the Eola-Amity Hills of the Willamette Valley, making it one of the pioneering estates of what has become one of America's most celebrated wine regions. Raney was among the first to recognize the extraordinary potential of the Eola-Amity Hills' ancient marine sediment soils and the cooling influence of the Van Duzer Corridor, and his wines have been a benchmark for Oregon Pinot Noir for nearly four decades. Today the winery continues his legacy with the same commitment to minimal intervention, native yeast fermentation, and the honest expression of Willamette Valley terroir.

The 2022 Evesham Wood Pinot Noir is a classic expression of Willamette Valley Pinot — elegant, precise, and unmistakably Oregon in character. The 2022 vintage was warm and aromatic, delivering wines of excellent fruit intensity and early approachability. Translucent ruby in the glass, the nose is fragrant and inviting: fresh red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petal layered with subtle notes of spice, forest floor, and a gentle earthy depth that speaks to the Eola-Amity Hills' distinctive marine sediment soils. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and silky, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish of real elegance and persistence.

The Evesham Wood Pinot Noir 2022 is exceptional alongside roasted salmon, duck breast, mushroom risotto, or herb-roasted chicken — a Willamette Valley Pinot of genuine historical significance and enduring quality.
