The 2023 Estate Pinot Noir offers vibrant aromas of red currant, cranberry, boysenberry, and orange blossom. The palate reveals dark red fruit, orange zest, and a briary earthiness. Polished acidity and balanced structure highlight its elegant purity. Youthful and charming, this wine promises great complexity and aging potential. Pair this wine with herbroasted chicken or foraged mushroom risotto. Enjoy now through 2038.
100% estate grown Pinot Noir aged for 12 months in French oak, 18% new.
The Brittan Vineyard lies just 12 miles southwest of McMinnville, tucked into the foothills of the Coast Range. The original 18 acres were planted in 2001, but due to the challenging nature of this site and limited topsoil, only eight acres survived. Since 2004 when Robert and Ellen purchased the vineyard, it has been an ongoing rehabilitation project: replanting, retraining, and learning the unique landscape that has become Brittan Vineyard.
Winemaker Robert Brittan, a wine industry veteran with the experience of over 50 harvests, has always had a passion for Pinot noir; a love affair that began in the 1980’s when he made several vintages under his Britt Hill label with fruit from Carneros. In 2004, Robert decided to leave Stags’ Leap Winery in Napa and start a Pinot noir project in the cool climate of the northern Willamette Valley.
