Description
Lavinea's 2023 Pinot Noir from Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills is a blend sourced across the appellation, capturing the region's cool-climate precision. The wine opens with fleshy red raspberry and strawberry notes, layered with an edgy, savoury raspberry-leaf character and a whisper of reduction that speaks to its youth.
The palate is tightly wound and structured, showing spiced wild strawberries and dried herbs, with assertive smoky cloves driving the finish. Crushed blackberry and stone dust emerge alongside bracing acidity, while chalky mineral tones weave through the mid-palate. There's a pleasant chewiness to the texture, with licorice nuances and real staining concentration on the back end. This is a wine that will benefit from bottle age but already rewards patience in the glass.

Expert Reviews
Known for its single-vineyard wines, this bottling is a blend from throughout the Eola Amity Hills appellation. Aromatics show fleshy red raspberry and strawberry fruits, an edgy, savoury raspberry leaf and a slight reduction. The palate is a touch austere, as this wine is still tightly wound: spiced wild strawberries, savoury dried herbs and plenty of smoky cloves to carry the finish.
The 2023 Pinot Noir Eola Amity Hills bursts from the glass with an explosive bouquet of crushed blackberries, sweet herbs, stone dust and spice. Juicy to the core, it reveals depths of tart blackberry and wild berry fruits driven by lively acidity. Chalky mineral tones swirl throughout. The finish is pleasantly chewy, with nuances of licorice and admirable length and staining concentration.
