Lange Description

Winemaker Notes

Lange Classique Pinot Noir is an assemblage of all their North Willamette Valley vineyard sites and is a fine example of expert blending by the winemaking team, embodying true "Classique" style and spirit. Aged in 15% new French oak, grapes designated for this blend were hand-harvested and fermented separately by vineyard and block, allowing the Lange's to create this precise and tightly-focused signature wine that consistently over-delivers for the price.

Professional Ratings

93 Decanter
Tart and piquant aromatics of fresh cranberry relish, salty sea air and spicy blood orange pulp leap out. This wine has ample fruit but offers a linearity and complexity that has it punching way above its price point. The palate offers a saline mineral streak that frames turned earth, hints of forest floor and exuberant spiced red fruits. This vintage, the Pinot Noirs, are some of the best I've ever made; picking on balance was critical, says Jesse Lange. It was a breezy growing season, so the wines were set up for greatness. It was a ripe vintage, so picking on balance was key. Freedom Hill comprises 80% of this wine.

Just bottled in June of 2024, the 2023 Pinot Noir Classique is a youthful red ruby color and is very appealing already, with notes of fresh flowers, wild fresh herbs, and ripe berries. It has a lot of lovely tension and is very nicely styled, taking on great crunchy fruit. I love the tension and drive behind it, and I imagine it will provide a lot of enjoyment. It will likely be released in the late fall of 2024.
91 James Suckling

Attractive mix of smoky minerality, dried grapefruit peel and crushed red berries, as well as undertones of dried flowers and mild spices. Racy, juicy and sleek with medium body and a dusty texture to the tannins. Flavorful and expressive.

89 Wine Spectator
Brisk and youthful, with sleek cherry and cranberry flavors that take on accents of green tea and spices as this speeds along the finish. Drink now through 2032. 7,600 cases made.
