90+ Cellars Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Believe it or not, even the most celebrated wineries in the world often have the ability to produce more than they can sell under their own top labels. With this idea in mind, Kevin Mehra launched 90+ Cellars. His concept was simple: allow great wineries to sell more wine through a new brand. By offering to not disclose the source, Kevin found that many wineries were happy to offer him their top wines at lower costs in order to sell more. And in doing so, 90+ Cellars was able to bring these world class wines to more people at better prices.

Our global selection is a result of these partnerships with wineries all over the world. The producers we work with all have a history of scoring 90+ point ratings on their wines. Without the overhead and geographical constraints of managing our own vineyards and wineries, we can focus on bringing you remarkable bottles. No need to wander the aisles searching for a great buy, we’ve done the work for you.

Rustic, earthy, and often compared to Burgundy, Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley is truly world class. Made from grapes grown in the foothills of Oregon’s Coast Range mountains, Lot 137 is the essence of this small but dynamic region.

On south-facing slopes, grapes receive the ideal combination of sun and fog, resulting in fully ripened Pinot Noir that maintains freshness. The grapes are destemmed, crushed and fermented in small opened-topped tanks. Regular punch downs allow for gentle extraction of flavors, color and tannins. Once complete, the wine matures for approximately 4 months prior to bottling. The resulting wine is beautifully balanced and energetic, with a smooth and refreshing finish.

This Pinot Noir is a day-bright ruby red with garnet tinges, offering aromas of fresh raspberries and strawberries above a fragrant mix of rhubarb, violets, clove, and cedar. It is beautifully balanced and energetic, finishing smooth and refreshing. It’s an ideal red wine to pair with wild mushroom risotto, whole-roasted chicken with sage and garlic, or a plate of fresh bread and soft cheeses.
