RATINGS

94James Suckling

Blueberries, raspberries, lemons, oranges and hints of caramel. Medium to full body, an incredibly polished texture and a beautiful, exciting finish.

92+ The Wine Advocate

...delicate red cherry and raspberry leaf notes over hints of black pepper and lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate offers firm, chewy tannins and a lively backbone to support the red berry and cedar-laced flavors, finishing long with a nice toastiness.

92+ John Gilman

...nose of black cherries, sweet dark berries, woodsmoke, a touch of gamebird, dark soil tones, fresh thyme and cedar...pure, full-bodied and quite soil-driven in personality, with a lovely core of fruit, fine-grained tannins and excellent focus and grip on the ripe and very well-balanced finish.

91Vinous / IWC

An exotically perfumed bouquet displays ripe black raspberry, cherry and allspice... Juicy, sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering lively red fruit and rose pastille flavors and supple texture. Shows appealing sweetness and finishes with resonating florality, strong cling and neatly woven tannins.

90Wine Spectator

Harmonious and well-built, with expressive pomegranate and cherry flavors accented by bay leaf and spice notes.

90Wine Enthusiast

...compact cranberry, raspberry and red plum flavors, with plenty of supporting acidity.

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.
