From the fertile soils of the Willamette Valley, Oregon, an area celebrated for its optimal grape-growing climate, emerges the 2022 Amlés Rendering Pinot Noir of exceptional character. Crafted by the skilled hands of winemaker Tresider Burns at Alexana Winery in partnership with Amlés, this wine is a testament to the valley’s ideal balance of temperature, humidity, and terroir, which collectively nurture the Vitis vinifera to perfection. 

This Pinot Noir radiates an intense, rich red hue, signaling the depth of its sensory offerings. Upon the first sip, one is greeted by a pleasing dryness that paves the way for a bounty of red fruit flavors. The palate dances with the vibrant notes of cherries and raspberries, which are then beautifully interlaced with the earthy complexity of mushrooms and the warm spiciness of clove. Floral undertones of hibiscus further enliven the flavor profile, offering a hint of delicate sweetness amidst the robustness. 

As the wine matures, subtle layers of vanilla and a wisp of smoke may begin to surface, adding to the wine’s evolving narrative. Our 2022 Rendering Pinot Noir stands out for its structure, characterized by higher acidity and lower tannins. The tannins are smooth and silky, integrating seamlessly with the wine’s bright acidity to create an effortlessly elegant mouthfeel. 

The spectrum of fruit flavors is vast and nuanced, ranging from the dark and sumptuous tones of black cherry, blackberry, and plum, to the lighter and more tart nuances of cranberry, strawberry, and raspberry. Each sip promises a symphony of sensations, a reflection of the Willamette Valley’s prowess in giving life to wines of exceptional quality and vivid expression.
