The wine region of McMinnville
Willamette Valley AVA (Coast Range, ~40 miles southwest of Portland, ~600 acres, uplifted marine sedimentary loams on Nestucca formation): Pinot Noir signature as red king (~84% plantings) — firm tannic structure, dusty dark fruits, spicy mineral and earthy notes. Volcanic and marine soils force vines to struggle for complex fruit. Coast Range rain shadow, drying Van Duzer Corridor winds, dense Pinot identity.
The wine region of Oregon
American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.
