Pinot Noir, The Setting, Chehalem Mountain Vineyard, OR, 2023

The Setting Pinot Noir, Chehalem Mountain Vineyard, Oregon — 2023

The 2023 vintage has a 93-point rating from Decanter, which places it in the “Excellent / Highly recommended” category.

Decanter — 93 points: Classic Willamette Valley aromas of forest underbrush, pine bough and rose petals, followed by wild red berries, black tea and savory herbs. The wine is lithe and fresh, with a firm tannic grip and a dense finish. Drinking window: 2025–2033.

Overall: A serious, structured Oregon Pinot with bright fruit and savory complexity. The 2023 appears more tannic and restrained than plush, making it particularly interesting for food or a few years of cellaring.
