Montinore Estate Borealis Pinot Noir

Borealis is a quintessentially Oregonian Pinot Noir, shaped by its ancient soils, gentle hills, and maritime climate. It blends the elegance of old-world wine craft with the grit and creativity of the Northwest. Light-bodied and fruit-forward with aromas of cherry, fresh plum and a hint of dried oregano on the nose. A bright entry on the palate introduces flavors of pie cherry and wild strawberry with a savory quality that subtly permeates the fruit. Hungarian oak influences during maturation allow for a delicate oak structure without overpowering the red fruit flavors. Flavors of cranberry and a hint of toast on the finish combine with a clean, lingering acid to make this an approachable, easy-drinking Pinot.
