The wine region of Yamhill-Carlton District
Premium AVA of the Willamette Valley (Oregon) southwest of Portland: Pinot Noir reigns in red (~70%) — deep ruby robe with signature notes of blackberry, raspberry, clove, tobacco, coffee and a floral spice touch, silky and broad tannins, fleshy textured profile from a warmer mesoclimate. Pinot Gris and Chardonnay as racy complements. AVA (2005), oldest marine sedimentary loam-sandy soils of the valley, slopes 60-300 m south-facing.
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: Thinning
Also known as green harvesting, the practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining bunches often gain weight.
