Quercless

2004 Willamette Valley Chardonnay

The Bethel Heights Vineyard Quercless is a stunning example of an aged Chardonnay from the illustrious Willamette Valley. With its radiant white color and a remarkable balance, this wine showcases a medium body that enchants the palate without overwhelming it. The acidity is bright and invigorating, contributing to a refreshing mouthfeel that dances across the tongue. A delightful fruit intensity emerges, offering vibrant notes of ripe pear and subtle citrus, beautifully complemented by hints of oak that add complexity. This wine presents a dryness that enhances its food-friendliness, making it an excellent pairing for a variety of dishes, from creamy risottos to roasted chicken. The overall experience is one of elegance and refinement, showcasing the best of what Oregon's wine-growing regions have to offer.

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.
