RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...inviting scents of blueberry, cranberry, damp earth and mossy bark. The medium-bodied palate offers compelling concentration for its silky, seamless frame, and it has a long finish streaked with floral and spicy perfume.

94Wine Spectator

Graceful and precise, with dynamic cherry and red plum flavors highlighted by fresh violet and brown spices, which glide on the long, sleek finish toward refined tannins.

94Wine Enthusiast

Black currants and beignets kick off the aromatic festivities, with just a touch of leather and saline...flavors are in layers, with rich blackberries on top of tart red cherries...fine-grained tannins provide a rough mouth roof and a black tea flavor...feels full and round in the mouth, with a nice bit of acidity. Elegance and power coexist here.

93James Suckling

Bright and vibrant with savory notes, raspberries and dried wild strawberries, hints of chocolate orange and dried sage. So crunchy and fleshy on the palate with a medium body and round, creamy texture. Attractive, berry-soaked mid-palate with a toned and fresh finish.

92Jeb Dunnuck

...offers expressive notes of raspberry preserve and rocky earth. Ripe and pure, with mouth-filling fruit and silky tannins, it retains great freshness throughout.

17Jancis Robinson

...sticky ripe black plum, salt, and warm spice and vanilla notes from oak...with plusher tannin, more rounded acidity, and a fruitier finish. Lovely and open.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola-Amity Hills

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.
