Caroline

The Biggio Hamina Caroline from the Eola-Amity Hills is a captivating Pinot Noir that showcases the elegance and complexity typical of the region. With a vibrant red hue, this 2010 vintage offers an intriguing bouquet of fresh red fruit aromas, complemented by subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied profile with a harmonious balance of bright acidity and soft tannins, making it incredibly approachable. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with notes of ripe cherry and raspberry taking center stage.

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.
