WINE DESCRIPTION

Anne Amie Vineyards Twelve Oaks Estate Pinot Noir is produced by Anne Amie Vineyards. The Willamette Valley based winery uses fruit grown from an estate vineyard located in the Chehalem Mountains sub-appellation for this wine. The grapes achieve full ripeness, offering gloriously juicy fruit. The winemaking process involves careful aging in partially new French oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity without overwhelming the fruit. The resulting wine is a classic example of Oregon Pinot Noir, with a delicate balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins, and a long, smooth finish. It is a must-try for any enthusiast of New Zealand or Burgundian Pinot Noir seeking something new to enjoy.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Anne Amie Twelve Oaks Estate Pinot Noir offers a classic expression of the grape variety with forward, juicy raspberry and cherry fruit on the nose.The palate is medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and velvety tannins. Gentle coffee complexity from aging in partially new French oak adds another dimension and the finish is pleasingly long. Drink now or over the next 8 years and serve with mushroom Wellington.

ORIGINS

Winery: Anne Amie Vineyards

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
