RATINGS

92James Suckling

A ripe and beautiful pinot noir with dark berry, peach and hints of walnuts. Full body, dusty tannins and a flavorful finish. An impressive wine showing the ripeness and greatness of the vintage...

91Wine Spectator

Soft and generous, offering dark berry, cherry, floral and roasted meat flavors, finishing with hints of fresh spices and lightly grippy tannins.

90Wine Enthusiast

Earthy scents project leafy greens, beetroot and forest floor, but in the mouth the wine opens up with robust black cherry, coffee and cassis. It's complex and detailed, though it retains that inherent earthiness through the finish.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, McMinnville

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.
