2021 Golden Cluster Pinot Noir Clone 943 – Rare Millerandage Vintage

Golden Cluster’s 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir offers an authentic taste of Oregon’s renowned wine region, crafted with meticulous attention to natural elegance. This bottle stands out as a testament to winemaker dedication—only produced after years of experimentation with Dijon clone 943 grapes, ensuring a distinctive character unlike conventional Pinot Noirs.

Sourced from select vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, this wine captures the region’s cool-climate essence while delivering rich complexity without artificial enhancements. Aged in neutral French oak barrels for ten months, it avoids new oak dominance or over-extraction techniques, allowing its innate flavors of dark cherry, wild strawberry, and earthy undertones to shine through naturally.

What sets this Pinot Noir apart is its commitment to purity: bottled unfined and unfiltered (vegan-friendly), preserving its vibrant texture and integrity. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking bold yet balanced reds without overt winemaking interventions, this wine pairs perfectly with hearty dishes or moments of mindful sipping.

At 13.3% alcohol by volume, it strikes a harmonious balance between approachability and depth—a true reflection of clone 943’s potential when nurtured thoughtfully. Whether you’re exploring Oregon’s finest wines or searching for an ethically crafted Pinot Noir that honors tradition while avoiding over-processing, this bottle delivers exceptional value and authenticity.
