Dijon blocks consistently produce wines with generous fruit and depth—and the 2023 vintage is no exception. Aromas of fresh strawberry and Bing cherry unfold alongside notes of allspice, nutmeg, and caramel from the oak. A delicate violet nuance adds lift and elegance. On the palate, the wine is structured yet balanced by lively acidity, leading to a crisp, mouthwatering finish.

Winery Info
VAN DUZER VINEYARDS
Unlike the more developed wine regions to the north, Van Duzer Vineyards remains much like it was a quarter century ago when Carl and Marilynn Thoma first discovered it. Visiting Van Duzer is like stepping back in time to when the Willamette Valley was "yet to be fully discovered." Perched on a knoll, the vineyard offers panoramic valley views and a unique micro-climate, the Van Duzer Corridor. The Coast Range mountains lie to the west, and the Pacific Ocean's influence arrives each afternoon. Van Duzer Vineyards makes elegant, wind-impacted expressions of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, and Syrah wines driven by a finely tuned balance of rich fruit flavors and fresh acidity. Head Winemaker Eric Misiewicz blends his history of winemaking in diverse regions–in New York's Finger Lakes, in Spain and Australia, and at classic producers in the Napa Valley–with a passion for the challenging yet thrilling conditions at Van Duzer Estate vineyard.

Winemaking Highlights
Each vintage of our Dijon Pinot Noir takes on its own character, shaped by the season. In cooler years, we lean more heavily on Block 29, planted to clone 777, and the cool fall of 2023 led us to feature this block prominently. The fruit was fermented in small-lot tanks and handled with care to avoid over-extraction, especially given the naturally firmer tannins typical of the west side of our estate. After fermentation, the wine was aged for 11 months in 30% new French oak before bottling.
