2023 Salem Wine Company Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

This Pinot Noir from the Eola-Amity Hills offers Oregon’s cool-climate charm with clarity and vibrancy. It’s light-to-medium bodied, with a fresh, lifted character that makes it easy to enjoy tonight yet interesting enough to revisit. Expect a wine that blends red fruit energy with floral and mineral nuance — bright, balanced, and versatile.

Nose: Red cherry and raspberry mingle with blood-orange zest, hibiscus bloom and faint violet florals. A subtle earthiness and mineral edge add complexity.

Palate: Juicy red fruits — Morello cherry, fresh raspberry — meet brisk acidity and a soft herbal undertone. The texture is silky but lifted, with a flash of spice and a mineral seam that gives backbone.

Finish: Clean and refreshing. Cherry-skin, subtle earth, and a chalky mineral note linger with a neat tannic grip and a bright, crisp finale.

Pair nicely with grilled salmon or seared tuna — the bright acidity and red-fruit character complement the fish beautifully. It also works well with roasted chicken, mushroom-cream pasta, or dishes featuring earthy mushrooms and herbs. For a simple option, try it with marinated roasted vegetables or a charcuterie board with soft cheeses and prosciutto.
