RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Firm and focused, with powdery tannins around a lively core of rose petal-infused raspberry and blackberry flavors, gliding into a long and expressive finish marked by minerally notes of wet stone.

92The Wine Advocate

The palate is medium-bodied with a gorgeous entry, very well defined with pure dark cherries and blueberry fruit, very well-judged acidity and a smooth finish offering just a hint of cassis.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Opening with aromatics of mushroom reduction and fresh berries, the palate evolves into bright bursts of cranberry and a persistent wash of mineral sapidity.

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.
