Delicate and refined, the 2015 Elouan Pinot Noir offers a pure expression of this varietal from a cool growing region. The wine's tart cranberry flavors and crisp finish pair it well with lightly grilled salmon steaks. (Tasted: April 3, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

While the Willamette Valley and Pinot Noir are a like a fairy tale match made in heaven, most of Oregon is in fact, a glorious source of Pinot noir. Claiming over half of its total area under vine, Pinot noir also thrives in Southern Oregon’s Umpqua and Rogue Valleys where sedimentary and volcanic soils dominate hillside vineyards and cool temperatures create the perfect environment for Pinot noir. Also, Oregon’s Columbia Gorge is becoming increasingly popular for Pinot noir production. What sets Oregon Pinot noir apart from the Pinot of other regions, both New and Old World, is its innate combination of grace with both power and restraint.
