The wine is medium-bodied, with well-integrated acidity that provides a refreshing lift to the palate. Tannins are notably soft, contributing to a smooth texture that enhances the overall drinking experience. As you savor each sip, the fruit intensity emerges gracefully, culminating in a harmonious finish that highlights its food-friendly nature. This Pinot Noir is a true reflection of its Oregon terroir, making it a delightful choice for any occasion.

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.
