NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Wine Enthusiast gave the 2022 vintage 89/100 and wrote the following:
"This blushing blend of 77% Pinot Gris, 19% Muscat, 7% Pinot Blanc and 1% Chardonnay opens with peaches and herb.The aromas, not the musical duo. Basil and thyme, with lime, to be precise. Flavors like pink grapefruit and white tea float on a creamy texture, with modest acidity."
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.
