2018 Lange Pinot Noir Liberty Bell Willamette Valley Oregon

When it comes to delivering Wine Access-favorite Pinot Noir knockouts, Jesse Lange is the gold standard. So when we say that the 2018 Liberty Bell is among his best yet, it’s a big deal. 

Drawn from an Oregon Grand Cru site—one that has inspired $65+ bottles—this rich, full-bodied Pinot matched Liberty Bell’s highest-ever score. It’s a tour de force from an estate Wine Enthusiast called “one of the great Pinot Noir producers in the United States.” 

Lange’s Pinot easily competes with the Archery Summits and Domaine Serenes of the world, yet at a price far below its peers. This richer-styled Pinot combines a Sea Smoke-esque power with the brightness and aromatics you’d expect out of top Burgundy. 

All the complexity and poise in the bottle comes from the Freedom Hill Vineyard, one of Oregon’s marquee sites. This rolling landscape has inspired incredible wines from a who’s who of the Willamette Valley—including Ken Wright, Patricia Green, Walter Scott, and St. Innocent—and Jesse’s Pinot comes from some of the site’s best-situated vines. They enjoy a perfect southeast-facing exposure and sit at 500 to 600 feet of elevation—high enough to have shallow soils that stress the vines, low enough to enjoy prime sun exposure throughout the day.

There’s a reason that the Liberty Bell Pinot has been one of the best received Oregon bottlings we’ve ever offered. Take a sip and find out.
