The Great Oregon Wine Company was founded on the belief that wines need not be pretentious to be delicious. Like our 2014 vintage Willamette Valley AVA Pinot Noir. Made in small batches (only 2,400 six-pack cases were produced) from Pommard and Dijon clones barrel-aged for 16 months, it boasts a beautifully balanced nose of bing cherry, earthy aromas, and potpourri. Its fruit, earth, and oak flavors are perfectly balanced for a seamless transition from start to finish—an outstanding example of well-crafted Oregon Pinot Noir that offers both New World ripeness with Old World minerality and restraint.
Holding the massive bottle in your hand, you'd rightly expect the wine inside to be a bit of a monster. But instead, it's a light, almost delicate effort, with pretty cherry fruit edged in smoky toast. There is nothing to indicate either vineyard or winemaking facility, but someone has a nice elegant touch. Drink now through 2020.
