Taste
Bright and inviting, this Pinot Noir opens with aromas of cranberry and raspberry, accented by subtle cedar and star jasmine. The palate is silky and lifted, revealing notes of ripe strawberry and sandalwood. Soft tannins and balanced acidity carry through a clean, lingering finish that feels polished yet approachable.
About the Winery / Winemaker
Browne Family Vineyards created the Forest Project as a way to align thoughtful winemaking with environmental stewardship. In partnership with One Tree Planted, each bottle supports reforestation efforts—bringing purpose beyond the glass. Sourced from Oregon vineyards well-suited to Pinot Noir, this wine reflects Browne’s commitment to balance, elegance, and place, guided by winemaker John Freeman’s restrained, detail-driven approach.
Why We Love It
This is Pinot Noir with intention. It’s fresh, expressive, and incredibly versatile at the table, while also supporting a cause we believe in. It’s the kind of bottle that feels right to open on a weeknight but still holds its own for a special dinner—quietly impressive, never showy.
