Tasting Notes:

Firesteed Pinot Noir is light ruby red in color with bright aromas of cherry and perfume on the nose, followed with a textural palate bursting with red fruits, earthy notes, and toast. Silky tannins complement the long, lingering finish accompanied by hints of spice, vanilla, and French oak.

Vintage Notes:

The 2022 vintage was a quintessential Oregon vintage—beautifully ripe with restraint and vibrant natural acidity. The early part of the year was quite cool, with the heat occurring only in the summer months and the ripening occurring in the long cool fall. These conditions optimally ripened fruit with intense perfume and bright fruit flavors while retaining alcohol and finishing with delicious minerality and balance.

Winemaker Notes:

Our 2022 Pinot Noir continues the Firesteed tradition of a consistent fruit-driven style, achieved with gentle techniques in the cellar and attentiveness in the vineyard. The grapes were sourced from several select sites around the state of Oregon and fermented and aged in a traditional manner respecting this delicate varietal. Aging took place in a combination of small French oak barrels and larger stainless-steel tanks, with approximately 15% new French oak.

CRITIC ACCLAIM

This Firesteed punches above its price point with fresh aromas of tart raspberries, violets and earthy, edge of the stream cattails. Flavors that include cherries and a saline/savory note similar to bone broth will pair nicely with a bowl of cassoulet. The wine's elevated acidity intersects with velvety tannins. — Michael Alberty, 89 points, Wine Enthusiast
