Trisaetum Coast Range Estate Pinot Noir

Bright and floral, this medium-bodied pinot offers red cherries, peach skin and red spices. Tense and crunchy, with a chalky texture to its tannins and vivid acidity. Crisp and refreshing. Drink or hold.

The Coast Range is full of body, fruit and spice. The show starts with aromas of tart red raspberries, thyme and sweet and spicy pickled red peppers. Sturdy tannins do a nice job of framing ripe Bing cherry, caramel and saline flavors. Somewhere, a pork tenderloin sandwich is calling this wine's name.

Fruity, dense and well balanced with cherries, red currants, sweet spices and some cranberries on the nose. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and fruity development toward the juicy finish. Focused and delicious. Drink or hold.

The ‘Coast Range Estate’ is located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and is set at 700 feet, with a combination of volcanic and marine sedimentary soils. This comes off very tart and salty — but in a really good way. Rich loganberry and cranberry tones combine with salty kirsch and menthol notes on the palate. Refined and elegant, with pretty high red flower notes aromatically, this is showing really beautifully now even at two years of age. The terroir is evident in the glass and for my palate, this is the best ‘Coast Range’ bottling that winemaker James Frey has crafted yet.

Lots of red-berry and blue-fruit aromas and flavors with ground spices and minerals. It’s bright and juicy, with crunchy tannins that are firm and polished. Attractive cherries and blueberries, with a flavorful, citrusy finish. Drink or hold.

The ‘Coast Range Estate’ is located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and is set at 700 feet, with a combination of volcanic and marine sedimentary soils. The palate is very salty and savory with dried herbs alongside sour kirsch, linzer torte and blood orange zest with tobacco undercurrents. Very elegant and restrained, this beautiful wine is already nicely evolved and will cellar well for at least another decade.

As this estate vineyard, planted in 2005, reaches an age where the vines are well established and can reach further into the soil, the complexity of the resulting wines begins to take form. Here it's a well-balanced mix of raspberry fruit, dried tobacco, Italian herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice. Give this wine another two or three years of bottle age for best drinking. Paul Gregutt

This has a fragrant nose of wild raspberries, cranberries and rose hips. Subtle spice notes, too. Bright and vibrant with a medium body and fine-grained tannins. Excellent freshness. Drink now or hold.

There’s a rich amalgam of earthy, forest aromas with red cherries and boysenberries at the core. The palate has a sleek and quite refreshing quality with clear-cut tannins that hold juicy red-plum flavors on the finish. Balanced and fresh pinot. Drink now.

One of Trisaetum's three estate vineyards, each in a different AVA, this brings bright and tangy citrus and pie cherry fruit flavors front and center, along with a light dusting of cocoa. Firm acidity and overall elegant styling are the hallmarks here. Paul Gregutt
