Benmar Into the Fog Pinot Noir 750ML (2023)

The 2023 Into the Fog Pinot Noir is a captivating organic blend that showcases the finest qualities of two renowned Oregon vineyards. The majority of the fruit, 85%, is sourced from a vineyard nestled in front of the prestigious NYSA vineyard in the Dundee Hills, while the remaining 15% is carefully selected from the esteemed Cattrall Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. On the nose, this Pinot Noir greets you with an alluring medley of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and a subtle hint of earthiness, accompanied by delicate aromas of rose petals, cinnamon, and a touch of forest floor.The palate offers a harmonious fusion of blackcap raspberries, licorice fern, cedar, and sweet earth, intermingling with fresh, juicy red fruit. The wine’s energetic acidity and graceful tannins provide a perfect backdrop for the complex brininess and mouth-watering vibrancy that are the hallmarks of the Dundee Hills terroir. The influence of the Eola-Amity Hills is evident in the ethereal note of wild rose that emerges on the finish, alongside spiced oak and a mouth-coating basalt minerality. This elegant and expressive Pinot Noir is a testament to the exceptional quality achieved through organic farming practices.
