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.
The word of the wine: Noble rot
A fungus called botrytis cinerea that develops during the over-ripening phase, an ally of great sweet white wines, when it concentrates the juice of the berries. It requires the humidity of morning fogs and beautiful sunny days, gives musts very rich in sugar and brings to the wines the famous taste of "roasted".
