Fairsing Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 Review
If you take a few steps outside of Fairsing’s tasting room in Yamhill-Carlton, and you can see every other Willamette Valley sub-appellation in one sweeping view. This generational estate is home to the McNally family. Not only do they make amazing wine, but they also reforest the land, keep bees, and do the daily work of maintaining the health and biodiversity of this place on earth, which comes through in the wine. This Pinot Noir is wonderfully complex with notes of cherries dusted with cinnamon, black tea, with a judicious dose of wood. The mouthfeel is right where it needs to be. Fleshy fruit with acidity that matches but does not overwhelm. This wine is spectacular.
