WINE DESCRIPTION

Chehalem Reserve Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Chehalem Winery, located in the Willamette Valley appellation of Oregon. The grapes for this wine are sourced from several vineyards, each with unique soil and microclimate characteristics that contribute to the wine's complexity and depth. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle handling, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's texture and flavor. The resulting wine is a classic example of Oregon Pinot Noir, with aromas of red fruit, spice, and earth, a silky texture, and a long, elegant finish. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the finesse and subtlety of Pinot Noir.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Chehalem Reserve Pinot Noir is a complex and beautiful expression of the grape.On the nose, it offers notes of fresh raspberries and black cherries, along with hints of baking spices and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is smooth and supple, with a velvety texture and a long finish. Flavors of ripe red fruits and savory spice linger on the tongue, with a hint of smoke and oak in the background. An excellent example of Oregon Pinot Noir, this wine would pair well with a roasted pork tenderloin or a mushroom risotto.

ORIGINS

Winery: Chehalem

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.
