Staff Pick Notes

There's an argument to be made for drinking young Pinot Noir, and it's in this bottle. Bright, fresh, and full of strawberries, this wine is as balanced as it is fresh. And while critics have invited the comparison between some of the great Burgundies and Kelley Fox's wines, I actually prefer the latter. Burgundy is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but there's something special about domestic Pinot. This is lighter, brighter, and more joyful than any Burgundy I've had in recent years. Perhaps it's the biodynamic farming or the cover crop on the vines; perhaps it's the passion of this soon-to-be legendary female winemaker, whatever the secret, this Pinot is magic. I almost want to keep it all to myself.

Glossary

Pinot Noir

The Burgundy region of northeastern France is the historic home of the Pinot Noir grape, and is the source of the world’s greatest examples. Here one finds renditions of Pinot Noir that deliver power with finesse and grace, wines that have unimaginable depth of flavor, yet are perfectly balanced and ephemeral in the mouth - in short, wines that deliver all that Pinot Noir has to offer. Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...

Willamette Valley

Perhaps the most familiar wine producing region in Oregon, the Willamette Valley is actually a group of distinct AVA's (American Viticultural Areas). This varied area is home to approximately two thirds of Oregon's wineries. Bounded roughly by the cities of Portland in the north and Eugene in the south, the near-idyllic wine growing region is cradled between the Cascade Mountain Range on its east side and the Coastal Range to the west, and produces some of America's most sublime expressions of...

Oregon

The largest wine region in Oregon is the Willamette Valley, lying between the cities of Portland and Eugene and home to most of Oregon’s wineries. As it does not have one homogeneous climate, it has been broken up into several different AVAs. In the best of them, the perfect amounts of wind, rain, sun exposure, and altitude combine to give Pinot Noir the warm days and cool nights it needs in order to thrive. Combine that with good drainage and poor soils, and you’ve got the perfect environment...
