2004 · Estate Reserve Pinot Noir

Belle Pente Vineyard & Winery is a family-owned producer in Oregon’s Yamhill-Carlton AVA, owned and operated by Brian and Jill O’Donnell on a historic farm near Carlton. The estate is dry farmed to organic standards, with biodynamic and regenerative practices, and a dedicated in-house vineyard team. Shallow Willakenzie soils, a warm, dry microclimate, and varied south-facing exposures shape the wines’ site expression. Belle Pente focuses on artisanal, old world-inspired winemaking: hand harvesting, careful sorting, and gentle small-lot vinification in a gravity-flow winery with minimal manipulation. The range includes Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay, with wines noted for brightness, minerality, and clear vintage and site character.
