Orsation

2013 Umpqua Valley Riesling

Paul O'Brien Winery's 2013 Orsation is a delightful white Riesling from the picturesque Umpqua Valley. This wine is characterized by its refreshing, mouthwatering acidity that dances on the palate, offering a crisp, invigorating experience with every sip. The body is medium, seamlessly balancing the luscious flavors of ripe stone fruit, including hints of peach and apricot, which are beautifully complemented by delicate floral notes. This Riesling showcases a prominent fruit intensity that speaks to its quality and craftsmanship, making it an inviting choice for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions. With an off-dry finish, it retains a touch of sweetness that perfectly aligns with its vibrant profile, embodying the essence of the Umpqua Valley's unique terroir.

With its rugged landscape and cool Pacific climate, Oregon is one of the world's great modern Pinot Noir regions. The Willamette Valley produces an impressive array of styles across its six AVAs, from fragrantly fruity to lush and complex. This is thanks to a range of terroirs that are eerily similar to Burgundy's in France (Oregon even lies on the same latitude). In fact, major Burgundy producers have set up in Oregon to make wine, including Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot. And it is not just Pinot Noir found in Oregon. Other benchmark grapes include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling; Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah thrive in the southern AVAs.
