Seven Devils Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Wine lovers are asking for a great Carlton Cellars Pinot that's as easy on the pocketbook as it is on the palate, and Seven Devils delivers! It's a devilicious Oregon Pinot temptation priced to make every occasion a special one.
Our third Willamette Valley Pinot, Seven Devils continues the Carlton Cellars Oregon Coast series with a tribute to the breathtaking region around Seven Devils and Cape Arago. This bold wine unites some of the great vineyards of the Willamette Valley, including our very own Russell-Grooters estate vineyard, an essential source for our award-winning Roads End and Cape Lookout Pinots.
Aged ten months in premium French oak, Seven Devils is deliciously lush and layered, maintaining elegant balance through a long, satisfying finish.

WSA Tasting Panel notes:
Bright, pale to medium ruby with pale pink rim. Youthful aromas of red fruit, cherry candies, and hints of wood are of medium- intensity. The wine has medium alcohol and body, and is medium- in acidity and tannin. Although dry, flavors appear sweet with notes of wild strawberry and cherry cola. The finish is medium in length.

On location: Seven Devils
The Seven Devils are a series of gorges running out to the Pacific along the Oregon Coast in the Cape Arago area, near Coos Bay. They were so named by early explorers who found the gorges particularly treacherous to traverse.
