Our take
What we make of this bottle
Rose made from Pinot Noir gets its color from brief contact with red grape skins before the juice is drawn off; wine guides describe the resulting style as lighter in body and often drier than the same grape's red wine. This label names both the grape, Pinot Noir, and the region, Willamette Valley, Oregon, plainly. What it does not narrow down is the estate: Stoller's own tech sheet for this wine says the fruit came from vineyards across the Willamette Valley, including estate grown fruit, not from the Stoller estate alone, despite the family estate name on the label.
Stoller Family Estate's own account traces back to 1943, when Bill Stoller's family bought a Dayton, Oregon farm to raise turkeys. The family converted the property to vineyard starting in 1993, planted the first ten acres each of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in 1995, and released a first vintage in 2001. The estate's own vineyard page describes 225 planted acres in the Dundee Hills on Jory soil, and the producer states it holds LEED Gold, Certified B Corporation and LIVE sustainable viticulture certifications.
For the bottle on shelf now, Stoller's own trade tech sheet for the 2025 vintage lists 100 percent Pinot Noir, picked in September 2025 and bottled that January, pressed immediately and fermented cold in stainless steel with three months of aging before bottling, no oak used. The finished wine comes in at 13 percent alcohol. The winemaker's own tasting note describes 'juicy, citrus driven fruit layered with fresh strawberry and watermelon,' vibrant acidity and 'a whisper of subtle minerality.' A retail listing tied to the same 2025 release cites a 92 point score from critic James Suckling. One honest wrinkle: Stoller's own trade materials show earlier vintages of this same rose carried a 'Dundee Hills' appellation name rather than today's 'Willamette Valley' label, a change the producer's page does not explain.
We do not have a shopper rating for this wine. One store in our September 2026 checks, Fred Meyer, priced the bottle at $33.99.
Our call: reach for it if a fully documented rose of Pinot Noir, backed by the producer's own harvest date, alcohol level and a 92 point James Suckling score, is what you want. Pass if you want the crowd's confirmation or a single estate story behind the price; no shopper rating is in our record, and the producer's own tech sheet says the fruit is sourced across the valley rather than only from Stoller's own vineyard.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know Oregon.
Oregon gives Pinot Noir a credible cool-climate frame, but statewide origin leaves the vineyard mix unresolved. That distinction is the page’s central honesty test.
What the name means
A state origin spanning distinct AVAs and climates; it is not interchangeable with Willamette Valley.
How grapes grow here
Oregon ranges from cool western valleys to warmer southern and eastern sites. Vintage and source region can materially change Pinot Noir style.
What lies under the vines
Volcanic, marine sedimentary and alluvial soils occur across Oregon; none can be assigned to this bottle without sourcing evidence.
How large the region is
- Pinot Noir context
- The Oregon Wine Board reports Pinot Noir as 59% of planted acres statewide.
Places within the region
- Willamette Valley
- The state’s principal Pinot Noir center, but not a valid bottle claim unless the release identifies it.
Getting to know Pinot Noir.
Pinot Noir is a red grape with relatively thin skins. It is used for still red wine and as one of the main grapes in many traditional-method sparkling wines.
Category guide
What to expect in the glass
Regional category guides commonly describe red cherry, berry and plum, with lighter color and less tannin than Cabernet Sauvignon. Site and ripeness can shift it from bright and delicate to darker and fuller.
