About
Benton-Lane is located in the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon where warmer temps yield more consistent vintages. They are one of the few Oregon vineyards to be certified under the L.I.V.E. program out of Switzerland and they are also certified Salmon Safe.
"First Class", only maked in exceptional vintages, is a Pinot Noir that is a deep ruby colored wine that exhibits classic aromas of cherry and blackberries, with more complex underlying scents of plum, truffle, anise, cedar and forest floor. Very ripe, fine tannins and balanced acidity create a rich, velvety texture that leads into an extremely long finish. The exquisite balance in this wine makes it a very versatile food wine.
Production: 1,334 6-pack cases all sealed with screwcap.
