Chehalem Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Rosé Review

This rosé is made from 100% Pinot Noir from the Chehalem Mountains appellation in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The wine is fermented in stainless steel with 15% in neutral oak. One-third of the Pinot Noir rested on skins for about eight hours before pressing to give the wine it’s light red color.

We’re big fans of rosé all year long, but it is especially good in the summer. Let’s check this one out.

Sample submitted for review. The 2025 Chehalem Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Rosé has an SRP of $28 but savvy shoppers can find it for as low as $19.

From the winery:

2025 Chehalem Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Rosé

VINEYARD COMPOSITION: This Rosé is crafted from 100% estate-grown Pinot Noir specifically for this style of wine. We select vineyard blocks that yield bright, fruit-forward wines with vibrant acidity, translating beautifully into the delicate, expressive style of Rosé we love to make

NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER: This wine opens with clean, lifted aromas of fresh strawberry, delicate white florals, and a subtle hint of mint and thyme. The palate is light and focused, layering bright red fruit with lively acidity and a soft, supple texture. The finish is crisp and refreshing, making for a vibrant, beautifully balanced Rosé that is effortless to enjoy.

The 2025 Chehalem Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Rosé opens with pleasing aromas of strawberries, floral notes, a little watermelon and a touch of a herbal note. It’s a nice, attractive start.

Taking a sip reveals a really tasty rosé full of juicy, tart fruit with very good depth and plenty of acidity. The flavors are similar to the nose with some grapefruit in the mouth as well. Quite harmonious and refreshing, this is a pleasure to drink, especially on a hot day

It ends dry and quite long on the lip-smacking finish.
