RATINGS

94James Suckling

A supple texture shapes abundant black and red fruit in this well-concentrated, polished and composed wine. A full body and suede-textured tannins give it a nice heft on the palate.

93The Wine Advocate

...broody tar and forest floor aromas before revealing brighter tones of raspberry jam, cinnamon and blood orange...light-bodied palate features concentrated, savory red fruit framed by silky tannins and bright acidity, and it has a very long, spicy finish.

93Wine Enthusiast

The aromas coming from this glass of wine are as clean and fresh as wintertime alpine air, with lilacs and wet stones encircling a bushel of ripe blackberries and a handful of lemons. The wine's black-cherry, cola and citrus flavors are backed by soft acidity and somewhat chewy tannins.

92Vinous / IWC

...decidedly savory with a lovely blend of sage and shaved cedar complicating wild strawberries...floods the palate with juicy textures and rich red berries propelled by vibrant acidity.

PRODUCER

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley

Willamette Valley AVA was established in 1983, and it is the oldest appellation in Oregon. Oregon’s modern wine industry began in the Willamette Valley in the 1960s when artists, vagabond winemakers, and U.C. Davis oenology graduates looking for new territory started their own, small, off-the-grid wineries. The appellation is the state’s largest, and it extends 175 miles from Columbia River on the Washington/Oregon border to just south of Eugene, near central Oregon. The Willamette River runs through the area, helping to give the appellation a mild year-round climate. There are six smaller sub-appellations within this AVA, but altogether the Willamette Valley has the largest concentration of wineries in Oregon, as well as the majority of the state’s most famous producers. Pinot Noir is king here, followed by Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling. To most admirers of Oregon Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley offers the most distinctive wine choices in the state.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
