Tasting notes:

The wine offers a fragrant nose of bright black cherries, berry bramble, orange peel, golden brown spices, and a touch of sweet oak. Layered behind are notes of red berries and rhubarb. Flavors of red plum, boysenberry, and cassis mingle with a savory trio of white pepper, forest floor, and sassafras.

Region:

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.
