Sensory Description: In the glass, the 2021 Foris Pinot Noir presents a captivating ruby red color. The nose reveals a rich bouquet of black plum and black cherry, accented by notes of cedar. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine offers a complex array of flavors including black cherry compote, black currant, mocha, vanilla, and white pepper. Subtle hints of salted caramel and lingering flavors of fresh cherry, oak, and baking chocolate add depth and intrigue to the tasting experience.
Winemaker's Background: Foris Vineyards, nestled in the heart of Oregon's Rogue Valley, has been dedicated to producing exceptional wines from their estate-grown fruit for decades. The 2021 vintage posed unique challenges with fluctuating weather conditions, but the skilled team at Foris managed to craft a Pinot Noir that speaks to the tenacity and adaptability of their vines. The hand-harvested fruit underwent meticulous de-stemming and whole berry fermentation in small open-top bins, followed by gentle punch-downs and a 10 to 14 day fermentation process. The wine was then aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, with 15% being once-filled, enhancing its complexity and structure.
Serving Suggestions: The 2021 Foris 'Estate Grown' Pinot Noir is best enjoyed at around 60-65°F (15-18°C) to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors. It pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, such as roasted duck, grilled salmon, or a mushroom risotto. For a cheese pairing, consider aged Gouda or Brie. This Pinot Noir's balanced acidity and rich palate also make it a delightful companion for a cozy evening, savored slowly to enjoy its evolving character.
