Handpicked La Sierra Vineyard Dundee Hills 2018 750 ml

Handpicked La Sierra Vineyard Dundee Hills 2018 is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir sourced from the Dundee Hills AVA in Oregon's Willamette Valley, one of the most respected Pinot Noir regions outside Burgundy, known for its volcanic Jory soils. Pinot Noir is a notoriously thin-skinned, site-sensitive grape, which is why single-vineyard bottlings like this one are common in the region — the wine reflects that specific plot rather than a broader blend. Expect red fruit — cherry and raspberry — with earthy undertones and fine, silky tannin rather than the heavier grip of a Cabernet. It suits drinkers who prefer Pinot Noir's lighter, more elegant style over a bolder red.

How to drink Handpicked La Sierra Vineyard Dundee Hills Pinot Noir

Serve this a little cooler than room temperature, around 55-60°F, which keeps the red fruit bright without dulling the earthy undertones. Roast salmon or duck are classic pairings that match Pinot Noir's lighter body better than red meat would.
