2021 Lemelson Thea’s Pinot Noir – Premium Oregon Red Wine w/ Multi 92+ Ratings

Lemelson Vineyards Thea’s Selection Pinot Noir 2021

Willamette Valley’s Quintessential Organic Expression

Discover Oregon winemaking excellence in this celebrated 2021 vintage—a harmonious blend sourced from Lemelson’s five certified organic estate vineyards across Willamette Valley’s distinct AVAs. Crafted as their signature cuvée, Thea’s Selection captures the essence of an exceptional year through layered complexity and graceful balance.

A Symphony of Pacific Northwest Terroir
Breathe in earthy forest floor aromas intertwined with vibrant wild strawberries, crushed raspberries, and intriguing hints of black tea and white pepper. On the palate, experience a silken texture carrying juicy brambly fruit—think sun-ripened cherries and pomegranate—nuanced by subtle notes of clove, porcini mushroom, and saline minerality. Bright acidity lifts the rich core of dark plum and black currant toward a remarkably long finish kissed by cocoa powder and lavender.

Critically Acclaimed Value
Universally praised with 92-93 point scores from top publications, this medium-bodied gem delivers sophistication beyond its $40 price point. Wine critics highlight its elegant structure (“weightless feel” – Jeb Dunnuck), food-friendly vibrancy (“zesty acidity” – Vinous), and aging potential (through 2031 per Wine Spectator). The seamless integration of supple tannins makes it equally enjoyable now or over the next 5-8 years.

Why This Stands Out
– 🌱 100% Organic Estate Fruit from three sub-regions
– 🍷 Silky texture with refreshing acidity—perfect for salmon or mushroom dishes
– 🏆 Outstanding quality-to-price ratio recognized by Decanter
– ⏳ Approachable yet cellar-worthy structure
