Region: United States > Oregon > Willamette & Columbia Valleys. Grapes: 80% Pinot Noir, 20% Syrah. Notes: Carbonic maceration, fermented & aged in stainless steel, organic/sustainable farming.
Description: Crafted from grapes grown in secret sites in the Willamette Valley (for the Pinot Noir) and the Columbia Valley (for the Syrah), both practicing organic or sustainable viticulture. This "American table wine" is dark and smoky on the nose, with lively notes of red raspberries and cherry hard candies on the palate -- bramble and light minerality make this easy drinking wine a crowd pleaser.
Food pairing: Sauteed vegetables, veggie and beef burgers, light fares, roast (and rotisserie) chicken, roasted potatoes, herbed dishes, etc.
