Pinot Noir is an ancient variety, genetically unstable and prone to mutating — which is part of why it varies so much. Silky texture and moderate weight — this is a wine of perfume rather than power. Cool, wet and marginal, Oregon ripens Pinot Noir slowly — which is exactly what the grape wants. Archery Summit, 2023 vintage. Serve slightly cool, around 60°F; a warm pour loses most of the detail. Good with grilled salmon, roast duck, or anything with mushrooms.
