THE WINE

Golden hues lure you into a nose brimming with roasted hazelnuts, white flowers and lemon crème brûlée. The palate is vibrant upfront with a round mouthfeel and notes of lemon zest, shortbread, spice, clementines and red pears. The finish is long and lush with minerality.

THE AVA

Framed by the Coast Range mountains to the west and Cascade Mountains to the east, the Willamette Valley AVA forms a cool-climate growing basin ideally suited for the production of traditional Burgundian varieties. With an array of different soil types and microclimates, the quality and complexity of Willamette Valley wine has garnered a fierce international reputation.
