TRISAETUM PINOT NOIR 2023, Willamette Valley

The hand-harvested fruit really shines through—those cranberry and cherry notes are bright and lively without being jammy. It's got that cool climate elegance I was hoping for, with a smooth finish that lingers nicely.

The cranberry and cherry notes are so vibrant and true to the varietal, and that subtle minty earthiness on the finish makes it perfect for a cozy evening. I opened it with dinner last night and it paired beautifully with roasted chicken. Definitely ordering another bottle.

That cool-climate earthiness comes through beautifully—it’s got that minty edge right alongside the fruit, which makes it feel more serious than your average Pinot. I poured a glass last night and it drank way above its price, silky but with enough grip to stand up to food.
