RATINGS

93Jeb Dunnuck

...aromas of golden apple, sunbaked hay, and beeswax. Medium-bodied, it also has more density on the palate, with a pithy texture, ripe Meyer lemon driving through the palate, and a savory snap of angular tension on the back.

92Vinous / IWC

...sweeps across the palate with crisp orchard fruits offset by gingery spice as tantalizing acidity peppers the senses...tapers off long yet remarkably fresh, leaving hints of tart nectarine and a lingering salty flourish.

92James Suckling

...aromas of grapefruits, golden apples, sourdough and toasted lemons. Medium-bodied, vibrant and alive, with lots of yellow fruit.

90Wine Enthusiast

The aromas of a glowing lemon beeswax candle and salted butter melting in a pan are warm and comforting. The wine has a smooth mouthfeel with more than enough acidity to maintain a sense of liveliness. Lime, balsa-wood and mango-lassi flavors steal the show.

15.5Jancis Robinson

Yellow-apple and gravel-dust nose. The palate is intensely appley with fresh lemony acidity.

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
