RATINGS

94James Suckling

This exposed, south-facing parcel has produced a more exotic array of fruit with aromas of mirabelle, peach, cherry and papaya, as well as some spicy nuances. The palate has a succulent core of gently grainy tannins that are steeped in fleshy, ripe cherries and plums.

93Vinous / IWC

An expansive bouquet evokes red and dark berry preserves, vanilla, cola and succulent flowers, and a spicy nuance adds energetic lift. Sappy and concentrated, offering intense black raspberry, cherry cola and rose pastille flavors and a touch of baking spices. Finishes very long and gently chewy, with dusty tannins and a persistent cherry note.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Yamhill-Carlton

Yamhill-Carlton AVA is located in Yamhill and Washington Counties, and it is entirely contained within the Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon’s most prestigious wine producing region. It has 1,200 vineyard acres and was awarded AVA status in 2004. The region grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Dolcetto, Muscat, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Ken Wright Cellars, Elk Cove Vineyards and WillaKenzie Estate are among the district’s best-known producers. All focus on Pinot Noir.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
