RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...very pure nose with dark berries, touches of truffle oil and walnut complementing the fruit, very detailed with wilted rose petal scents... The palate is medium-bodied with sappy redcurrant and raspberry, the tannins a little "crunchy" in the mouth. It veers to more loganberry and huckleberry fruit towards the finish, laced with white pepper and sage, the aftertaste sustained for 30-45 seconds.

93Vinous / IWC

Intense cherry, black raspberry and violet scents take on smoky mineral and licorice overtones as the wine opens up. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering sappy red and blue fruit flavors that slowly deepen and spread out on the back half. Shows excellent focus and a suave floral echo on the impressively long finish, which is energized by zesty acidity and a repeating red berry flourish.

90Wine Spectator

Broad and expressive, open-textured and distinctive for a green olive accent to the blackberry and cherry flavors, finishing with harmony and persistence.

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.
