2022 Bow & Arrow Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA

ABOUT THE WINE

Inspired by the lighter, more restrained styles of the Loire Valley, this Pinot Noir emphasizes freshness, balance, and transparency of terroir. Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards throughout the Willamette Valley, the 2022 vintage reflects Oregon’s cool growing season and the region’s ability to produce Pinot Noir with both purity and complexity.

Careful handling in the cellar, including gentle extraction and restrained oak use, allows the wine’s natural aromatics and texture to shine. Notes of tart cherry, rose petal, earthy spice, and subtle savory tones create a layered and highly food-friendly wine with finesse rather than weight.

This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted salmon, duck, mushroom dishes, herb-roasted poultry, and charcuterie. Its balance of freshness and earthy nuance also complements a wide range of seasonal cuisine.
