2015 Westrey 'Oracle Vineyard' Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, Oregon

From: McMinnville, Willamette Valley, OregonVarietal: Pinot Noir Taste: In the glass, the wine shows a clear garnet hue with ruby edges. On the nose, aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and dried rose petals lead, followed by forest floor, baking spice, and a subtle smoky edge from the oak. The palate is vibrant and structured, with a fine line of acidity supporting flavors of cranberry, black tea, and crushed herbs. Tannins are firm but well-integrated, suggesting additional development potential. The finish is long and savory, carrying tones of red fruit, clove, and mineral tension.Pairing: Pinot Noir from the Dundee Hills, especially in a warm vintage like 2015, has enough concentration and tannic frame to pair with a wide range of food. To highlight the wine’s freshness and spice, look for foods that combine earthy, herbal, and umami-driven elements. Roasted poultry—like duck breast with thyme and red wine jus—or herb-crusted pork loin are excellent choices. About: Westrey Wine
