Love, Oregon Pinot Noir, Montinore Estate Pinot Noir, Walter Scott La Combe Verte Pinot Noir, and Patricia Green Cellars Lia’s Vineyard Pinot Noir.

WHY: The Willamette Valley is a huge and varied appellation that includes six sub-appellations: Chehalem Mountains, Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, McMinnville, Ribbon Ridge and Yamhill-Carlton. Buffered from Pacific storms by the Coast Range on the west, the valley follows the Willamette River north to south for more than a hundred miles from the Columbia River near Portland to just south of Eugene. The Willamette Valley wineries are a popular tourist destination and it is by far Oregon’s largest wine grape-growing region. It is dominated by plantings of Pinot Noir and smaller amounts of Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling.
