Wine Maker Notes Our Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is grown in a cool climate with beautiful raspberry, cherry and floral flavors. OurUmpqua Valley Pinot Noir vineyards are warm by day and cool by night due to the marine influence, which gives the wines blueberry and plum flavors with firm acidity. The combination of cool and warm climates found in these regions produces wine stacked with intense flavors and aromas.
