Staff Pick Notes

Passetoutgrain ("pas-to-gran") is a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay. You get the best of both worlds here; the nose offers bright red fruit notes and spice from the Gamay and rose petal and forest floor from the Pinot Noir. On the palate, Gamay's playfulness helps relax Pinot's more serious side. Lively acidity and smooth, nearly absent tannins lead to a zesty and refreshing finish. I found that this wine provided a delicious cranberry counterpoint to duck confit. It can also be served chilled and enjoyed as a refreshing everyday sipper or apertif. Truly a wine for all seasons. All fruit is farmed organically, and is LIVE certified. LIVE incorporates the health and well-being of Oregon’s aquatic life and food system into its certification, thus entirely bans the use of copper in vineyards. Only 595 cases were produced.

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...
