RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

...total pleasure on the nose, with a flower shop bouquet and masses of crushed blackberry and sweet smoke...displays fantastic balance, with ripe wild berry fruits and hints of sour citrus that flow across silken textural waves. Fine-grained tannins combine with a saline concentration as residual acidity puckers the cheeks through the long and classically structured finale.

94Wine Spectator

Silky and fragrant, with gracefully complex cherry and tart blueberry flavors highlighted by forest floor, wet stone and black tea flavors. Ends with refined tannins.

94James Suckling

Attractive nose of lavender, strawberries, red cherries, cinnamon and some mint chocolate. Sleek and medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins. Gentle and well-framed. All in balance.

94Wine Enthusiast

...aromas of blackberry compote, earth, leather and sweet pea flowers. Flavor-wise, its black cherries and a cup of black tea with lemon. Fine-grained tannins...

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.
