2023 Heritage Reserve Estate Pinot Noir

This special Pinot Noir celebrates Coeur de Terre's original plantings -- Renelle's Block, Sarah Jane's Block, Abby's Block &Tallulah's Run. Together these four distinct (blocks) of the vineyard create a beautifully balanced wine, representative of the unique site and viticulture philosophy of Coeur de Terre. Each block shines as a reserve, and here they bring their strengths together in perfect harmony.

TASTING NOTES

The Héritage Reserve is meant to capture the expression of the oldest vines on our beautiful estate vineyard. In the glass, it shows depth and bright earthy tones and black fruit on the nose reflective of the McMinnville AVA within the larger Willamette Valley.  As it opens up,  spices come forward with coriander, cardamom and Indian sweet spices taking center stage.  Blackberry and wild black cherry fruit blend nicely on the palate along fine tannins.  Mid-palate reveals lively raspberry and bright notes contributing to a long and rich finish.
