Fullerton Winery Lichtenwalter Vineyard Pinot Noir '19

A translucent ruby in the glass, this Pinot Noir offers aromas of cherry cola, violet, and damp earth. The palate is silky and layered, with flavors of raspberry, clove, and a hint of forest floor, supported by supple tannins. Aged 10 months in French oak (25% new), it reflects the vineyard’s volcanic soils. Earning 92 points, it’s superb with seared salmon, wild mushroom pasta, or duck confit. The finish is delicate and perfumed, a tribute to Willamette Valley’s terroir.
