BENTON LANE PINOT NOIR 750ML

Benton Lane Pinot Noir is a classic Oregon Willamette Valley red wine made from 100% Pinot Noir, crafted to showcase the cool‑climate terroir, balanced acidity, and expressive fruit typical of this region.

Tasting Profile

1. Color: Medium ruby to deep crimson in the glass — a sign of ripe, energetic fruit.
2. Aroma: Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and sour cherry mingle with subtle spice, herbs (like thyme or pennyroyal), and gentle earthy undertones from the cool volcanic and sedimentary soils of the estate.
3. Palate: Medium‑bodied and elegantly textured with juicy red and dark berry flavors, balanced acidity, and refined, silky tannins. Notes of savory herbs, light spice, and forest floor can add complexity depending on vintage.
4. Finish: Smooth and lingering, with fresh fruit and spicy, earthy hints.
