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: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
