Set against the backdrop of the majestic Cascade and Coastal mountains, laced by surging rivers and dotted with serene lakes, the temperate valleys of the Pacific Northwest have nurtured unique and innovative vineyards. A climate of clear, warm days and crisp, cool nights combines with rich volcanic soil and generous rainfall to create the ideal terroir for some of the world's finest wines.

2008 Milbrandt Merlot
Columbia Valley, Washington

A smooth, sophisticated, plump and juicy Merlot with bits of cassis, boysenberry, blueberry, chocolate and smoky oak. It is well structured with mouth-filling richness, ripe fruit flavors and rounded tannins.

Harry & David Perfect "Pearings": Free Range Turkey Veal, Game Birds, Rabbit, Duck, Wild Mushrooms, quail Also great with any dish made with wild mushrooms where it will complement their earthy, woodsy taste. It would pair nicely with lighter game such as quail, duck and rabbit.

2009 Chehalem 3 Vineyards Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley, Oregon

A rich, dark, focused, and balanced Pinot Noir, this well-extracted wine carries lots of fruit, good structure, and a nice, long finish. Exotic aromas and flavors of clove, cardamom, pepper spice, mineral, orange marmalade, green tea, and plum as well as herbal and brown forest-floor characters make this wine complex and always evolving.

Harry & David Perfect "Pearings": Royal Riviera® Pears, Apples, Cheeses Also complements duck, pork, chicken and rich vegetarian dishes

2007 Pacific Rim Wallula Riesling
Columbia Valley, Washington

With the Riesling grapes, the artisans from Wallula Vineyard have crafted a beautifully structured and crisp wine with bright acidity and perfect balance. The resulting wine shows some apricot and pineapple. It is very fresh and lively, tasting dry. The wine has great acidity with some apple fruit and nutmeg notes.
