Bellande Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2022

Bellande showcases the magic of Oregon Pinot Noir without breaking the bank. The grapes are from thoughtfully-farmed vineyards and the wine is made with minimal intervention to achieve a pure, unadulterated expression of fruit. Made of 100% Pinot Noir from organically farmed vineyards within the Willamette Valley, the majority of the blend for Bellande Pinot Noir is from Finnigan Hill Vineyard - a higher elevation site in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. Other vineyard sources include Yamhill Springs Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, as well as Roshni and Cassin Vineyards in McMinnville AVA. Fermented with native yeasts and matured in neutral French oak. 

We love a naturally-made Pinot Noir, and this one even has some biodynamic fruit blended into the final cuvée. The label has a little moon on it, a lunar cycle reference, and the woman winemaker for Bellande is renowned for her wines at Day Wines in Oregon.
