RATINGS

94James Suckling

Shows intensity and balanced and beautiful fruit. Medium-to full-bodied, silky and beautiful. A really velvety and round texture to this.

91The Wine Advocate

...nose of garrigue, bay leaves and underbrush over a core of Bing cherries and cranberries. Medium-bodied...chewy tannins and a racy backbone, it has a lovely earthy/herbal lift in the mouth, continuing long into the finish.

90Wine Spectator

Broad and expressive, with cherry and pomegranate flavors, picking up pear and floral notes as the finish lingers against grippy tannins.

90Vinous / IWC

Pungent aromas of cherry cola, blackberry and woodsmoke are lifted by lively floral and peppery spice qualities...lively on the palate, offering juicy dark berry and bitter cherry flavors and smooth, velvety texture...very good clarity and thrust on the long, spice-tinged, gently tannic finish.

17+ Jancis Robinson

Bold streaks of leafy green notes alongside wonderfully sweet red fruit with long, bold persistence and juiciness.

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.
