Angela Vineyards Pinot Noir
Doesnβt every good story, especially when it comes to wine, start with good friends and good wine???? Similar to the winemakers from Burgundy in the early 70s, they saw the potential and similarities to their beloved Burgundy.

Friends Antony Beck (of South Africaβs famed family) and Ken Wright were sitting around chatting one night fifteen years ago, came up with the idea to establish an estate in Oregon.
Named in honor of Antonyβs wife they wanted to create a warm, welcoming environment for friends and family to gather and enjoy beautiful wines of Willamette Valley. They create an experience, memories and communal conversations. Organically and sustainability in the vineyard and winery is part of that communal responsability. Their winemaker, Alan Debeaulieu was born and raised in Loire valley, worked for in both Burgundy and Oregon (Domaine Drouhain) makes a stylistic lovely Pinot Noir. The grapes are harvested from 2 vineyards in Yamhill-Carlton AVA and aged for 12 months, 30% in new French oak barrels.
Crisp red berries, warm cocoa and chai spice. Super yummy, super fresh, long lip smacking acidity goodness. Itβs ultra fresh, pure and lip smacking delicious. A beautifully balanced, fruit-forward, and bright Pinot Noir that lets the vintage speak for itself.
