Quail Run

2010 Southern Oregon Pinot Blanc

The Erath Quail Run Pinot Blanc from the 2010 vintage showcases the vibrant essence of Southern Oregon’s unique terroir. This delightful white exhibits a light to medium body, making it incredibly refreshing and easy to enjoy. It has a bright and lively acidity that enhances its mouthwatering quality, perfectly complementing its moderate fruit intensity, which reveals notes of crisp green apple and hints of citrus. The wine is bone dry, allowing the clean flavors to shine without any overwhelming sweetness. Its delicate structure and smooth finish make this Pinot Blanc an ideal companion for a variety of dishes, from seafood to light salads, embodying the spirit of the region.

Oregon

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.
