Orange aftertaste. Crisp and refreshing. Best served very cold. Would drink again but maybe not over other crisp whites.

The fruit is plummy but the wine has excellent overall balance. Perfect acidic contrast.

A favorite Willamette Valley producer of mine. The wines are charming, soulful, and Burgundian. There’s so much earthy red fruit here. Cherries, strawberries, leaves, and soil after a fresh rain. Impeccably integrated spice and polish from oak aging. The folks at Illahe are experimental artisans that love the land they work. That consistently shows in their entire lineup. Pair with sautéed mushrooms. Is anyone else noticing that Europeans are discovering the value of Oregon in comparison to their Burgundian counterparts?

Mild but agreeable. Nothing offensive.

I had a glass of this at Aldo Sohm Wine Bar a couple months ago. It tastes similar to the McKinley Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Burgundian in style, like a good Bourgogne rouge. Light, simple & easy drinking. Oregon has such great weather compared to Burgundy. Rarely a shitty vintage. I think the wines are better quality at this point. I know it sounds crazy & obviously a different style but I prefer Oregon Pinot Noirs. They’ve improved so much and they are great with many different types of food. Burgundy is always disappointing, often way too dry for me and too expensive unfortunately. And the Chardonnay they grow out in Oregon is awesome as well . I’m out of the burgundy game. Tough luck.
