Winemaker Notes
The Deux Verres aroma is forward, rich, with sweet, concentrated red and dark cherries and light-earthy notes. The flavors are bright, sweet and soft, with juicy, concentrated layers of red, dark cherries, blueberries and complex earth notes. The texture is sweet, elegant, with soft and rich silky tannins that add to the creaminess of the wine. The finish is long with fruity layers of black cherries intermingled with concentrated red berries, floral notes and light earthy notes.
Home of some of the planet’s most amazingly elegant and expressive Pinot noir, the Willamette Valley is a pastoral, mixed landscape of green, bucolic rolling hills, dramatic forestlands and small, independent, friendly wine growers. As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. While the valley claims a cool, continental climate, and is heavily influenced by the cold, moist winds of the Pacific Ocean, its warm and dry summers allow for the steady, even ripening of Pinot noir.
The potential of Willamette Valley Pinot noir continues to attract the investment of serious growers and winemakers both locally and from abroad, as naturally the finished wines bring accolades from professionals and enthusiasts. With a range of styles from delicate dried cherry, raspberry and hibiscus to stronger notes of truffle, mocha, plum and spice, a fine Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a perfect expression of both character and grace.
