United States, Willamette Valley Vintage: 2023 13.5% by volume Bottle Size: 750ml Gang Family Cellars In-Laws Pinot Noir 2023 brings together fruit from La Belle Promenade Vineyard in the Chehalem...
Gang Family Cellars In-Laws Pinot Noir 2023 brings together fruit from La Belle Promenade Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains and Flânerie Vineyard in Ribbon Ridge, two distinct sites within Oregon’s Willamette Valley.
Ripe red cherry, strawberry and red currant are joined by raspberry, pomegranate and spiced plum. Floral notes of rose petal combine with dried herbs, clove, forest floor and a subtle mushroom character, giving the wine a savory dimension beyond its bright red fruit.
Forty percent whole-cluster fermentation adds structure and aromatic lift, while restrained French oak supports the wine without overwhelming its freshness. The palate is energetic and layered, with fine-grained tannins and lively acidity carrying the fruit through a long finish.
The combination of two different Willamette Valley sites gives this Pinot Noir both brightness and depth, making it approachable now while still having enough structure to develop further in bottle.
Food Pairing: Pair with roast duck, grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, or soft and semi-aged cheeses.
Serve slightly cool, around 56–60°F.
