Sext

2008 Willamette Valley Riesling

Chehalem Sext is a delightful 2008 Riesling from the renowned Willamette Valley, a region known for its exceptional terroir and ideal conditions for grape growing. This vibrant white wine showcases a medium body, which elegantly balances its bright acidity, resulting in a mouthwatering experience that is both refreshing and approachable. The fruit intensity is prominent, presenting enticing notes of juicy stone fruits and crisp green apples, while hints of floral aromatics add complexity. Its off-dry character provides a pleasant sweetness that complements the wine's lively freshness, making it an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of dishes or as a standalone delight.

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.
