What follows are brief recommendations from a recent visit to Oregon’s Willamette Valley. I visited five wineries in a day and was fortunate to taste many wines from each producer, but these six wines stood out as being among the best for each variety ...

Willamette Valley on Snooth
May 2013
Brick red in the glass. Lightly smoky nose. Peppery dried herb and plum fruit on the nose. Spicy profile. Diminishing fruit, so all that's left is plum. Fleshy. Stony minerality. Zesty herb and white pepper notes. Nice, but needs food. Cinnamon dust influence. Drink now.89 pts.5/18/13 Read More

I've just had a Copain pinot from 2008 and it was Burgundian in style ... have found that many of the Willamette Valley Pinots are beginning to gain the complexities of Burgundies. I particularly like the Ribbon Ridge area near Newberg, Oregon. Adelsheim, Bergstrom, Beau Freres, and boutique wineries such as Utopia are making very good wines. ... Read More

Pinot has been a much celebrated topic here on Snooth over the years I've participated, and it's obviously one of the more celebrated grapes in the wine world. It'll no doubt be a story line I plan on focusing on in years to come so I thought I'd start a thread, logging experiences. Sorry in advance, Greg T.Having said that, I've been mostly dis...

As many of my regular readers know, I am a huge fan of Oregon Chardonnay and a firm believer that it should be considered one of our signature grapes - right alongside Pinot Noir. Aromas of pears, honeysuckle, Meyer lemons and a hint of wet stone enter onto the palate with a super-pleasing citrus-zest. Green apple, clove and a tiny hint of van... Read More

An easy drinking wine. Smooth, simple wine. Red fruit flavor with a little tar in the finish. Read More

Complex on the nose if decidedly not fruit driven with lovely layers of older wood, earth, leesy floral tones and hints of stone accenting apple fruit that shows edges of dried lemon and orange pith. Medium bodied and elegant in the mouth with terrific clarity on the palate which mimics the nose with it's blend of mineral, white orchard fruit, l... Read More

"Aromas of fresh berries, dried herbs and barnyard. Ripe strawberry, bing and black cherry are accentuated by more herbal nuances such as thyme, savory and sweet marjoram." [From "Pinot Noir" blind tasting at Bin 105, Lincoln NE, 13 October 2012.] Read More

The Willamette Valley has THE BEST Pinot Noir in the entire World. There are very few good Pinot Noir from California, but when I am thinking about taste of the classic Pinot Noir it always comes to my mind Willamette Valley! :)

Yes, I've tasted their Wine! It's very good, however I think it's pricey, considering I've enjoyed other Pinot Noir's that were as good and less pricey...

Such a beautiful part of the country with some terrific wines. Well worth a long weekend getaway in the early fall. Dundee and McMinnville are terrific.
