Most of the Willamette Valley's best Pinot Noir values come and go; they are strong in some vintages, less so in others. Never this.

The original, the unparalleled, the single most consistent value in Willamette Valley Pinot is back, doing what it always does: introducing us to a new vintage (2023!) and setting the bar (high!) by which other wines of the vintage will be measured. Looking outside of Oregon, we'll ask the question: is there a better Pinot Noir value from anywhere in the world, made with so much integrity from such excellent vineyards? Bueller? Bueller?

Our advice is always: buy a case. We do and we save a few bottles for aging (just finishing the last bottles of 2016 and 2017). But we know you'll finish the case and realize you want more, so just get two cases. There's a lot of excitement around the 2023 vintage, crystal-clearly evident in this wine. It is loaded with vibrant Pinot energy and mouth-filling flavor, plus it's surprisingly silky textured for such a humbly-priced Pinot. Heck, make it three cases. Whatever your preferred amount, this is an essential wine for Pinot Noir lovers and value appreciators. Make room in your wine racks, be nice to your FedEx driver, bring the bigger car—that is all to say get ready, get your stash of Evesham WV '23!

Us: No Pinot noir from anywhere in the world delivers so much for 25 bucks, year after year. Honest and authentic, this is Pinot Noir grown and made the right way. The '23 beams with black cherry Evesham deliciousness. It's packed with Pinot essence—aromas, flavors, and feel. Sometimes this wine takes a couple months to round out but not the '23, it is showy and silky from first sip and stayed vibrant over the 3 days it was open on my counter...then I just had to finish it! -Marcus

The winery: Although the Willamette Valley bottling is our least expensive and largest production wine we put just as much of ourselves into it as our top cuvées. Vineyards such as Illahe and Mahonia that Evesham Wood has been working with for decades make up the bulk of the blend along with Eola-Amity Hills AVA sites Prophet, Koosah, Jubilee, Cortell Rose, and Sojeau. This vintage of the WV blend shows a bright nose with cherry, red apple, fresh flowers, and a touch of loam along with a textural creamy/silkiness component that’s balanced by juicy acid. Showing well now, watch this wine evolve over the next 3 months to 8-10 years.

Our Wine Advice

Life's too short to drink bad wine.

We taste as much or more Oregon wine in a given year than anyone on the planet. We look for the needles in the haystacks, the wines you won't find in your local wine store. Wineries have long sought our help to sell their most limited, unique bottlings.

We are picky. We like to sell wines that we like to drink. We refer to taste the wines sell over several days; we want to know how a wine will evolve, how it pairs with food. We want to know if it truly belongs in your cellar, in your glass, and we want to provide you with guidance on how and when it'll be its best.

Our goal is to describe wines in ways that you can actually relate to. We battle against overly flowery tasting notes. You know the kind. The ones that mention things that no one has ever smelled or tasted. They're mostly B.S. and they perpetuate snobbery that we don't like.

We give you the unfiltered truth about a wine.We believe wine isn't one-size-fits-all. We get to know your tastes and preferences so that we can recommend the right wines for you.

Testimonials

★★★★★

Avalon is a gem. The wine selection is both excellent and expertly curated. Better yet, Marcus and Andy invest the time to get to know their customers personally. So their recommendations fit you like a well-tailored suit (just more reasonably priced!).

★★★★★

Marcus and Andy's knowledge of the wines, wineries and winemakers of the area is encyclopedic and, in my experience, second to none. They have a comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of the industry and a knack for recommending wines that are 'in my wheelhouse,' but also the insight to direct me toward new discoveries. I wholeheartedly recommend them to both those in the know and those who would
like to be.

Andy and Marcus only sell wines they would drink themselves, they sell them at reasonable prices, and they take exceptionally good care of their customers. Ethics, value, service…the reasons we buy all our wine from Avalon.

These guys do an outstanding job of sourcing great wines at terrific prices. Their reviews are fun to read and quite on point without all of the nonsense. Whose ever tasted squirrel dung or asphalt anyway? Get on their email list and savor the experience; then tell a friend. That's how I became a dedicated customer of Avalon Wine.
