The wine region of Elkton Oregon
Coolest and wettest AVA (2013, 74,900 acres) of the Umpqua Valley (Douglas County, Oregon), 33 miles from the Pacific coast: Pinot Noir is the refined cool-climate signature, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer and Riesling as aromatic complements. Pacific breezes up the Umpqua corridor, ~50 inches rain/year and a longer but gentler growing season. Residual clay, silt-loam and alluvial terrace soils — Burgundian finesse.
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: Balsamic
Aromas reminiscent of balsam, resin, incense, but also vanilla or liquorice wood.
