Foris Pinot Noir Rogue Valley 2021
Oregon is one of the world’s three top regions for producing Pinot Noir. The others are New Zealand and, of course, Burgundy. The cool climate in the Williamette Valley allows Pinot Noir to mature slowly and the poor soils on hill sides above a few hundred feet reduces their vigor creating delicacy and complexity in the wines.

The wines of Oregon distinguish themselves with a lovely sweet fruitiness and a silken texture.
