RATINGS

95James Suckling

Bright floral and black-cherry aromas with some ripe strawberry. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and a fine, linear finish. Tensioned and real. Lovely ripeness of fruit with a polished texture.

93+ The Wine Advocate

...touches of flint on the nose, opening slowly to perfumed red and black berry fruits. The medium-bodied palate is firm and very juicy, packed to the gills with earth-accented fruits, and it finishes long and flavorful.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Yamhill-Carlton

Yamhill-Carlton AVA is located in Yamhill and Washington Counties, and it is entirely contained within the Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon’s most prestigious wine producing region. It has 1,200 vineyard acres and was awarded AVA status in 2004. The region grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Dolcetto, Muscat, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Ken Wright Cellars, Elk Cove Vineyards and WillaKenzie Estate are among the district’s best-known producers. All focus on Pinot Noir.

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.
