RATINGS

94James Suckling

Lots of blue-fruit and lavender character here. Full-bodied, firm and velvety. Shows ripeness and freshness.

93Wine Spectator

Supple and open-textured, with layers of blackberry, cherry and licorice flavors, accented by hints of pepper and tea leaf. Comes together harmoniously and intensely on the polished finish.

92Wine Enthusiast

This is smooth and open, a mix of fresh cranberry and raspberry fruit, underscored by minerality and acidity... It's a wine of impeccable balance, with a seamless finish and silky smooth tannins.

91Vinous / IWC

Complex raspberry, cherry cola, incense and peppery spice scents develop a floral element as the wine opens up. Silky and expansive on the palate, offering sweet red fruit, vanilla and floral pastille flavors that pick up a smoky flourish with air. Finishes on a spicy note, displaying smooth tannins and lingering suggestions of vanilla and candied rose.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley

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.
