2024 00 Wines Chehalem Mountain Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley

High in Oregon's Chehalem Mountains, cool breezes and a patchwork of volcanic and marine sedimentary soils produce Pinot Noir with wonderful perfume and finesse. Founded by Chris and Kathryn Hermann, 00 Wines has earned a devoted following for its meticulous approach to winemaking, creating beautifully expressive wines from some of the Willamette Valley's most exciting vineyards.

Bright ruby red with delicate crimson reflections. Wild cherry, red raspberry and ripe strawberry mingle with violet, rose petals and a hint of woodland spice. The 2024 vintage is beautifully poised, with silky tannins, lively acidity and a gentle earthy character. Fresh red fruit and subtle mineral notes linger through an elegant, savoury finish.

Delicious with crispy duck and ginger dumplings, roasted quail with cherries, or a golden wild mushroom and leek tart. For something different, try seared ocean trout with beetroot and sesame.

Cellaring: Drink now to 2036. A refined Oregon Pinot Noir with the structure to develop greater savoury complexity over time.
