The 2023 00 Wines VGR Pinot Noir begins with lifted aromas of crushed pomegranate, Bing cherry, dried rose petals, and forest floor dusted with cedar shavings. As it gathers on the palate, the wine leans into flavors of wild strawberry and subtle spice tones, supported by a soft earthiness that adds quiet depth. Its medium weight allows the fruit to glide easily while the tannins stay finely textured and subtly gripping. A gentle thread of allspice appears near the finish, giving the wine a warming contour that lingers with polished ease.

 

Chris Hermann is a unique figure in the wine world. He is equally at ease in the boardroom advising major wineries and vineyards and in the cellar crafting ultra-premium wines. He co-founded 00 Wines in 2015 alongside his wife Kathryn and his late father Dr. Richard Hermann in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, creating a project that fuses family heritage, ecological insight and winemaking ambition. At 00 Wines Chris applies the same precision and vision: sourcing elite vineyards in the Willamette Valley drawing on Old World techniques including Burgundy-inspired “black Chardonnay” methods and aiming to produce Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of world-class finesse.

“This is about pushing Chardonnay to its capacity and giving Pinot its voice in a place like Oregon.” — Chris Hermann
