Walter Scott Pinot Noir - La Combe Verte 2023

Walter Scott Wines is a small Oregon winery specializing in Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc from exceptional vineyards in the Willamette Valley. Their focus is to produce wines of elegance and purity, while conveying transparency of site and the character of the vintage.

The winery is located in the Eola-Amity Hills, surrounded by some of the Willamette Valley's most historic vineyards and overlooking the Cascade Range. Ken and Erica's love for winemaking is apparent in everything they do. They pour everything they have (including their life savings) into what they do and it shows.

The name - Walter Scott - honors two men who meant the world to Ken. Walter, Ken's grandfather, was a flight engineer for Trans World Airlines. Walter always strived to make his dreams become reality. He was dynamic and adventurous; he did everything from building homes to riding motorcycles to flying planes. His influence taught Ken that there are no limits to what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it. Scott was Ken's nephew. Although his time was short, Scott was fearless. Much like his great grandfather, he never shied away from anything. Scott’s departure taught Ken that life is very short and you must act on your ambitions because you never know when your chance will pass.

Partial whole-cluster and native yeast fermentation are implemented, followed by 10 months of oak aging.
