Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling are all made by Willamette Valley Vineyards, but Pinot Noir is clearly this estate’s benchmark wine. The 2001 Willamette Valley Vineyards Signature Cuvée Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, a “best of harvest” blend from one of this producer’s very first vintages, shows delicate fruit and considerable complexity. It is offered here in a rare Magnum.
