2023 Pinot Noir

elegant gold line to divide content

Open Soul’s first release of Pinot Noir is sourced solely from Worden Hill Vineyard in the Dundee Hills, a nested appellation of Oregon's Willamette Valley. Worden Hill Vineyard is farmed biodynamically and the resulting wine takes its ferrous minerality from the famed iron-rich Jory soils. This South facing vineyard was originally planted in 1977 and sits at an average elevation of 650 feet.

A blend of traditional and innovative winemaking methods help this wine to express its soul, one of ethereal complexity.

The 2023 Open Soul Pinot Noir reveals vibrant aromas of candied cherry, warm spices, and delicate rosewater, underscored by hints of wet stone minerality and ripe black raspberry. On the palate, it showcases lively flavors of kirsch cherry, black tea, and Madagascar vanilla, all supported by fine-grained tannins that lead to a smooth, seamless finish. -Kate Payne Brown, Consulting Winemaker
