BELLE PENTE PINOT NOIR YAMHILL-CARLTON 2022

Belle Pente is a small, family-owned estate in Oregon’s Willamette Valley known for its deeply traditional, terroir-driven approach. The winery has built a reputation for meticulous, hands-on farming and classic, non-interventionist winemaking—favoring native fermentations, minimal new oak, and extended aging to let the vineyard speak clearly. Their estate site in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, with its marine sedimentary soils, produces wines of structure, earthiness, and finesse.  Organic.  Biodynamic.

93 POINTS, Jeb Dunnuck. "The nose is bright and spicy, showing cranberries, cinnamon, dried herbs, and potpourri. On the palate, it’s elegant, medium-bodied, and framed by fine tannins, and leans into mineral notes on the finish."
