Cuvée Giselle

2009 Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir

Lachini Vineyards Cuvée Giselle is a captivating red wine that showcases the elegance of Pinot Noir from the esteemed Chehalem Mountains region. This 2009 vintage exudes a medium-bodied character, perfectly balanced with a bright acidity that adds a refreshing lift, making it incredibly food-friendly. The alluring fruit intensity presents itself through notes of ripe cherry and raspberry, harmonizing beautifully with subtle hints of earthiness and spice that are characteristic of this varietal. Tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing a smooth mouthfeel without overwhelming the palate. This wine leans toward a dry style, allowing the luscious fruit flavors to shine while ensuring a sophisticated finish that lingers delightfully. Enjoying this wine is truly a delightful experience, one that embodies the true essence of the terroir from which it originates.

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.
