Red Wine

2005 Southern Oregon Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc

The Belle Vallee Cellars Red Wine, a captivating blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, showcases the rich terroir of Southern Oregon. This exquisite vintage from 2005 presents a deep crimson hue, inviting the senses with its robust character. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience, harmoniously balanced with vibrant acidity that brings a refreshing lift to each sip. The prominent fruit intensity is marked by luscious dark berries and hints of blackcurrant, while soft tannins provide structure without overwhelming the wine's elegant profile. This red blend is elegantly dry, making it a delightful choice for a variety of food pairings or simply enjoying on its own. The winemaking craft evident in this bottle reflects both the region's unique microclimate and the skillful artistry of Belle Vallee Cellars.

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.
