Here is the world-class 2022 ‘Reserve’ Pinot Noir by Toil Oregon.

Toil Oregon 'Reserve' Pinot Noir

August 15, 2024

It has now been more than a decade that Toil Oregon began with a production of 200 cases. Chris Figgins always wanted a vineyard in the Willamette Valley. In 2016 he got the nerve to plant in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. His Toil wines have been met with incredible acclaim as the program makes a Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Rose that is one of the finest you will taste in the Pacific Northwest. For my palate these wines have improved over the years, becoming slightly smoother and weightless upon entry.

With the 2021 vintage Chris started a reserve program to highlight the finest barrels of his Pinot Noir. Last year’s edition was a gorgeous wine and this years is even better. The 2022 Toil ‘Reserve’ Pinot Noir (OB, 96) is taken from this cooler vintage than ’21 but is somehow showing more dense and also weightless than last year’s wine. This is one to satisfy any collector of great Oregon wine. Learn more about this great winery at toiloregon.com Here are the brilliant new wines by Toil Oregon. 

2022 Toil Oregon ‘Reserve’ Pinot Noir- This is now the second edition of this wine which is a barrel selection made by famed winemaker Chris Figgins. It is a dense, hedonistic and intense Oregon Pinot Noir bottling that is a notch better than last year’s edition. Once on the nose this takes on heady boysenberry notes alongside cloves, freshly tilled salty soils and suggestions of Hoisin sauce. The palate is rich and voluptuous with serious texture and good underlying tension. This seamless bottling is drinking marvelously right now and will surely live on for at least another fifteen years. Drink 2024-2042- 96
