This red wine presents a beautifully vibrant color that hints at its elegance. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied profile with a delightful balance of acidity, bringing freshness and brightness that effortlessly complements its savory character. The fruit intensity is pronounced, highlighting ripe cherry and raspberry notes, intricately woven with subtle earthy undertones and hints of spices. Tannins are notable, providing structure without overwhelming the wine, making it incredibly food-friendly.

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.
