RATINGS

95Wine Enthusiast

...striking minerality underscoring chunky black fruits. Accents of citrus and graphite comingle, with exceptional midpalate concentration.

94James Suckling

A beautiful purity of fruit to this wine with plum and berry aromas and flavors. Full body, polished velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Lovely tannins.

92Vinous / IWC

Fragrant, spice-accented red berries, blood orange and candied rose on the incisive nose. Bright, nervy and focused on the palate, offering intense raspberry and bitter cherry flavors... Juicy and seamless in texture, finishing with powerful mineral thrust and resonating floral and red berry notes.

91The Wine Advocate

...scented of fertile loam, game, sautéed herbs and tree bark over a core of warm cranberries, pomegranate and raspberries. Medium-bodied with a very lively backbone, it has a good amount of chewy tannins supporting the expressive fruit, finishing with an herbal lift.

91Wine Spectator

Peppery tannins drape around a supple core of blueberry, dark plum and spice flavors, hints of mineral and floral informing the medium-weight finish, which lingers easily.

17+ Jancis Robinson

...savoury, concentrated palate... The underlying focus here is on savoury character with a body of red and black fruits and lifting aromatics of both fresh and dried roses and a mix of citrus notes. There is a pleasing savoury-salty crunch with a lot of palate stimulation. Quite persistent.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Chehalem Mountains

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.
