The de Lancelotti family started out as growers. They grew in fame when pinnacle Oregon Pinot producer Bergstrom decided to bottle a single vineyard de Lancelotti offering. Things took off from their and the family decided to start making their owns wines under the family name in 2005. Under the guidance of winemaker Robert Brittan.

I am a huge fan of the wine I bring you today and when we were able to negotiate a great price, I immediately thought this is a perfect wine for your Thanksgiving table and offcourse a must for Oregon Pinot Noir fans. The De Lancelotti La Sorella Pinot Noir 2021 is an absolute treat, a three vineyard blend from de Lancelotti’s biodynamically farmed vineyards, mainly their estate vineyard that sells for $80 a bottle. La Sorella is their great middle tier value offering that is a great buy at $49.99. We have the La Sorellla down to $30.99, an absolue steal for wine in the bottle and from an excellent vintage. The 2021 vintage is considered a new classic from the vintage, a five star vintage, 95pts by Wine Spectator; 94pts by Parker and a definite vintage to buy! This is great Pinot Noir and displays why Pinot fans love Oregon combining the attributes of great Burgundian Pinot Noir with cool climate added and fruit and richness. This is a great Pinot buy!
Attractive freshness and earthy complexity, across bright red cherry and cranberry fruit. The palate has a very attractive core of fresh fruit with spice embellishments, in a vibrant, crisp and attractive style, and good freshness at the finish. Drink or hold.
texturally very grati- fying, this offers bright Bing cherry and red raspberry flavors with shades of lavender, blood orange zest and salty undercurrents. Everything is neatly in harmony here, as this already nicely evolved Pinot Noir offers some serious value .
