Cloudline : Pinot Noir 2023

A vibrant and expressive Pinot Noir with finesse and charm

The estate

Cloudline Cellars, based in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, has quietly earned a reputation for producing elegant, fruit-driven Pinot Noir that overdelivers in both quality and value. Since its debut, Cloudline has become one of Oregon’s most recognized and respected Pinot Noir brands.

The vineyard

Sourced exclusively from low-yielding vineyards in the Willamette Valley—including 25% from the renowned Roserock Vineyard—Cloudline Pinot Noir captures the purity and expression of this premier cool-climate region.

The wine

Now in its 22nd vintage, Cloudline Pinot Noir continues to showcase the accessible, yet layered style that has become its signature. Crafted to be enjoyed young, it’s bottled in eco-glass and reflects both the environmental care and winemaking precision behind the label.

The vintage

The 2023 growing season began with a late budbreak on April 30, followed by an unexpected heat surge and low rainfall, compressing early vine development. The fruit ripened evenly, and harvest concluded by October 5, delivering grapes of excellent quality with fresh acidity and vibrant fruit character.
