On the nose, this wine offers enticing notes of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of citrus and vanilla. These aromas are complemented by subtle oak nuances, adding depth and complexity to the overall profile.
The palate is equally impressive, with a rich and creamy texture that coats the mouth.

ORIGINS
Winery: WillaKenzie Estate
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.CUSTOMER RATING
