Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 Magnum

Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 Magnum is a beautifully pure expression of Oregon Pinot Noir, crafted by winemaker Jim Maresh with a clear focus on elegance and finesse rather than sheer power. Bottled at just 13% alcohol, it reflects both restraint and intensity, and comes from old vines planted in the early 1970s at Maresh Vineyards — a site with deep roots in Oregon’s Pinot Noir history.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pinot Noir shows a graceful, transparent style that hints at its refined structure and old-vine origin. The nose opens with layers of strawberry jam, rhubarb, cranberry sauce, warm earth, black licorice, and exotic spice, giving it both brightness and complexity. The palate is driven by sun-warmed red cherries, strawberries, and rhubarb jam, followed by dried violets, licorice, and a subtle spice note that lingers beautifully on the finish. Its balance and freshness suggest very good aging potential, especially in magnum format, where it will develop slowly and elegantly over time.

Production
The grapes for this wine come from Maresh Vineyards in Oregon, where vines planted in the early 1970s contribute depth, character, and concentration. The 2021 vintage saw limited yields, but the fruit quality was exceptional, resulting in a wine that captures the site’s cool-climate purity and the nuanced expression Jim Maresh is known for. The vinification emphasizes finesse, allowing the vineyard character and natural elegance of Pinot Noir to shine through.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir pairs naturally with roast duck, mushroom dishes, herb-roasted poultry, grilled salmon, or earthy vegetarian plates such as lentil and wild mushroom tart. Serve slightly chilled at around 14–16°C, and consider opening it 30–60 minutes before serving, though decanting is optional rather than essential for a wine of this style.
