WINE REGION:

Outline of Willamette Valley

Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.

TASTING NOTES:

Strawberry

Raspberry

Black Cherry

Aromas of ripe black cherry, strawberry, blackcurrant and raspberry. Fruit-forward and juicy palate highlights additions of pomegranate with a light mocha dusting. The round, satisfying palate is accented by a natural acidity on the finish.
