Martin Woods(the woods and the winery) is hidden in the oak-forested foothills of Oregon's Coast Range, within the cool-climate McMinnville AVA, Willamette Valley. Martin Woods is both the home and winery for winemaker/vigneron Evan Martin, who has been driven by a passion since 2009 for discovering the most compelling terroir in Oregon.
The Pinot Noir shows off a purity which is becoming the "Oregon Style" of wine. While the color is medium garnet in color with clear edges, but do not let that fool you into thinking this a weak wine. Aromas of sweet cola and red cherries flow into the palate mixed with black cherries, forest floor, tree bark spice with a lactic thickness to the wine. The acidity, tannins, and minerality are all balanced complexity which can age for the next 15 to 20 years.
