Opulent, heady whites, rich and silky, with intense aromas of apricot, yellow peach, mango, violet, honeysuckle and musky, honeyed notes. Discreet acidity, creamy finish. Star of Condrieu AOC and Château-Grillet AOC, co-vinified in Côte-Rôtie with Syrah (up to 20%). Widely exported to California (Central Coast), Australia (Eden Valley) and Languedoc. A Rhône variety.
Oregon portion of the vast Columbia Valley AVA (from The Dalles to Milton-Freewater): Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are the signature red kings — bold fruit-forward Californian signature profile while preserving European balance and structure, intense notes of black fruit, spices and a peppery touch. Riesling, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Noir and Grenache complement. Hot arid continental desert, loess soils over Missoula Floods deposits.
