Le Miel Pinot Noir

2022 Pinot Noir

$50 /750ml bottle

Willamette Valley, Oregon

This is our first wine! We jumped into winemaking in April 2022 on a wing and a prayer – crossing fingers too. Relying on a kind network of people we met in Willamette Valley, we found a vineyard in the Eola-Amity AVA that was willing to share their grapes, winemaker, and equipment to help us get started. Then we got really lucky, and Anthony agreed to work with us as our winemaker. He suggested blending our existing wine with pinot from Meredith Mitchell Vineyard, which has long been a source for premium wines in Willamette. So, something we learned when we lived in Europe for a few years is that blends are often better than wines made from one kind of grape or one single place – and our 2022 Pinot is no exception. This “blend” is endlessly enjoyable.
