The wine region of Walla Walla Valley
Star of the American north-west straddling Washington and Oregon: signature Cabernet Sauvignon reigns in reds — structured and concentrated with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a touch of spice, firm tannins, great ageing potential. Racy, complex Syrah (blackberry, black olive, pepper, smoked meat), supple Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese complement. Long season (200 days), hot days and cool nights, loess soils. AVA (1984) within the Columbia Valley.
The wine region of Washington
2nd US producer by volume, on the arid, sunny Columbia Valley. Star Cabernet Sauvignon (~60% of reds): powerful and structured with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, dry herbs and graphite, firm tannins. Fleshy, peppery Syrah (black fruits, smoked meat). Round, fruity Merlot, historic mineral Riesling (dry and off-dry), precise Chardonnay and ample Sémillon.
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
