RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Expansive cherry, blackberry, vanilla and potpourri scents take on exotic spice and cola nuances with air. Broad and fleshy on the palate, offering juicy cherry-vanilla, dark berry, succulent herb and fruitcake flavors supported by an undercurrent of smoky minerality. Smoothly plays richness off energy and finishes very long and gently chewy, with dusty tannins emerging late.

16Jancis Robinson

Equal parts oak and whole-cluster stemminess on the palate. Confected red fruit, very candied.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Yamhill-Carlton

Yamhill-Carlton AVA is located in Yamhill and Washington Counties, and it is entirely contained within the Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon’s most prestigious wine producing region. It has 1,200 vineyard acres and was awarded AVA status in 2004. The region grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Dolcetto, Muscat, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Ken Wright Cellars, Elk Cove Vineyards and WillaKenzie Estate are among the district’s best-known producers. All focus on Pinot Noir.

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.
