Today is International Pinot Noir Day which marks a special occasion as we celebrate the grape that has been part of the Dukes Family Vineyards story for more than two decades! While the Dukes’ journey and love for Pinot Noir were first sparked by French Burgundies, they soon found how special and unique Oregon was for this classic grape variety. It has been more than 20 years since the Dukes began their Oregon wine journey, and they cannot believe how much there is to celebrate.
Whether you enjoy our classic-style Alyssa Pinot Noir made from our estate fruit located at the bottom of the property, favor our more robust Charlotte Pinot Noir from our higher volcanic soils, or can’t get enough of our special reserve blends, we hope you will join us in raising a glass to Pinot Noir! This renowned heartbreaker grape is truly a special grape that has more than earned a special toast.
Cheers, Pinot Noir, from vine to bottle, you are truly a magnificent grape, and we look forward to yet another bountiful harvest with you!
