RATINGS

93James Suckling

Aromas of sour cherries, redcurrants, sliced mushrooms, fresh soil and cigar box. It’s medium-bodied with sleek tannins and bright acidity. Juicy and crunchy with a fresh, flavorful finish.

92Wine Enthusiast

Generously toasty from aging in one-quarter new oak barrels, it sets blackberry fruit against a backdrop of chocolate, mocha and toasted hazelnuts...smooth and balanced...

90Wine Spectator

Sleek and vibrant, with delicately layered raspberry, pomegranate and rose petal accents that linger on the finish.

90Vinous / IWC

Lively dark berry and floral scents pick up hints of baking spices and freshly turned earth as the wine opens out. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors that deepen and turn sweeter through the back half. Dusty tannins add grip to a long, tangy finish...

15.5Jancis Robinson

Mineral nose – smells of chalk, not much fruit. Confected red cherry and light chalky tannin on the palate. Quite lean.

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.
