RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...dark spice and brown sugar before revealing red cherry, cranberry, blood orange and tea leaves...medium-bodied palate offers complex layers of wild berry, earth and spice. It's structured by lacy tannins and vibrant acidity, and has a very long, layered finish with a flourish of spicy accents.

95Wine Enthusiast

Its aromas of fresh laundry hanging on the line and violets mix with puffs of raspberry and sweet-pea flowers. Flavors like blackberries, toffee and juniper berries glide along a silky texture.

92Vinous / IWC

...dark and brooding with a rich blend of lavender-laced blackberries and autumnal spice. It's elegant in feel with velvety textures and a cascade of inner florals. Ripe red and black fruits slowly saturate toward the close. Silky tannins resonate as this finishes with outstanding length and remarkable freshness, leaving a hint of candied citrus that makes for a lovely punctuation to the experience.

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.
