Description
Big Table Farm's 2023 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a barrel selection drawn from four vineyard sites in the Yamhill-Carlton area, crafted to express the finest of what this vintage offered. Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley balances elegance with ripeness, and this wine exemplifies that interplay.
The wine opens with aromas of violet and rose petals over a dark-fruited core. On the palate it's fleshy and layered, with sweet cherry and warm spices supported by good structure and mineral definition. Notes of Earl Grey tea and crushed blackberry give way to a hint of blood orange on the finish, where a pleasant chewiness and floral character linger. The wine shows enough density and complexity to reward patience over the next several years, though it's already engaging to drink now.

Expert Reviews
The team at Big Table Farm makes Pinot from four different Yamhill-Carlton sites, and this bottling is a barrel selection to show the best of the vintage. It's juicy and dark-fruited, with aromas of smoky violet and rose petals that elegantly balance the powerful and ripe Yamhill appellation Pinot. Fleshy and full, with layers of sweet cherries and warm spices, great structure, and undeniable staying power. This wine will evolve over the next 5 to 8 years.
The 2023 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is so pretty as vivid notes of Earl Grey and sweet lavender complement crushed blackberries. Round textures and ripe wild berry fruits soothe, while crunchy mineral tones add form and a hint of blood orange embellishes the close. The 2023 tapers off with excellent length and floral persistence, leaving a pleasantly chewy sensation that lingers.
