Underwood Pinot Noir 2020

Underwood Pinot Noir 2020 is a classic Oregon Pinot Noir that delivers impressive quality and character at a remarkably approachable price. Sourced from vineyards across the state, it captures the bright, fruit-driven style Oregon is known for, while staying elegant, balanced, and true to the variety. Built by Union Wine Company with a focus on making premium Oregon wine accessible, it has become a standout value in the category.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pinot Noir shows a light, bright ruby color that reflects its fresh and elegant style. The nose opens with plum, blueberry, and lifted raspberry aromas, followed by subtle notes of cocoa and a touch of espresso. On the palate, sweet raspberry and cherry fruit lead the way, supported by soft tannins and lively acidity. The wine feels polished and supple, with enough structure to keep it balanced and food-friendly. It is best enjoyed young for its freshness and vibrant fruit, though it should hold nicely over the next 2–4 years.

Production
Underwood Pinot Noir 2020 is made from grapes sourced across Oregon, including fruit from lower-elevation sites for ripeness and intensity and higher-elevation vineyards for freshness, acidity, and aromatic lift. This broad sourcing gives the wine a distinctly Oregon profile, drawing on the diversity of regions such as the Willamette Valley, Umpqua, and Walla Walla. Harvest and vinification details are not specified, but the wine is clearly made to emphasize purity of fruit, balance, and value.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast chicken, duck, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, and herb-roasted vegetables. It also works well with charcuterie, soft cheeses, or a simple weeknight pasta with tomato and basil. Serve slightly chilled at around 14–16°C, and decanting is optional but can help the wine open up if served soon after opening.
