This varietal is grown in the southeast of Italy in the Puglia region.

OREGON YAMHILL COUNTY PINOT NOIR

Recognised for centuries as the Queen of grapes, Pinot Moir makes the old world's most sought-after (and expensive wines).  But in Oregon, Pinot Noir is making exciting new wines, and Yamhill County, poised between the cooling Pacific breezes to the west and the Willamette River to the east, makes some of the best.  This remarkable wine creates a lasting impression on the palate and in the memory.  Intense ripe-grape, mint, raspberry and black cherry aromas, along with smoky yet elusive oak make this a medium-bodied and rich wine.  High in alcohol, it has intense flavor despite its delicacy.  Like liquid silk, gently caressing the palate, the refined tannins are compelling, yet rounded.  The intense varietal character is brilliantly expressed by our unique strain of years, which allows the true fruit to shine through this highly focused and delicious wine.
