Staff Pick Notes

Ken Wright is one of those producers you know you can rely on for stellar wines vintage after vintage. They may vary in character, but the quality is always there. Bonnie Jean has been a source for them since 2013 and even though the vines are relatively young at 13 years old, they're planted on ancient marine sediment, producing outstanding wines. Refined, elegant, but with a dense core of concentrated fruit you'll find tantalizing raspberry and cherry notes with baking spices, autumn leaves and a little black pepper. Pinot Noir is a hard grape to get right, but when it shines it can light up the whole night sky.

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.

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...
