Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Complex from the first sniff, expansive ripe cherries and blackberries meld seamlessly with aromas of chocolate, cola and exotic spices.There is an underlying complexity to the nose revealing wild herbs & dried flowers, giving way to a beautiful bouquet of forest, woodsmoke and black tea. On the palate, layers of sweet Bing cherries and plums dance across the tongue, while the seamlessly integratedacidity balances impeccably with the expansive, bold texture. Finishes long, with fine and noble, silky tannins. Full-bodied anddeliciously seductive now; but one would be wise to bet on its future when the roundness gives way to increased nuances. We suggest decanting for 30 minutes or cellaring for increased nuances. Drink 2-15 years.

Blend: 100% Pinot Noir

Professional Ratings

    A deep rose color, this pretty wine seduces with sweet cherry and red plum fruit, rounded out with a dollop of cinnamon spice and buoyed with moderate acidity. Full, forward, flavorful and built for medium-term aging, this should be enjoyed now through 2020.

Lachini Vineyards, Oregon
Ron & Marianne Lachini began with a dream to start a small, family-owned estate vineyard focused entirely on producing uncompromising Pinot Noir. We were guided by our values, love of family, fine Burgundies and life! We believe that the vineyard is the wine. As such, our goal remains to nurture our 45-acre vineyard’s distinctive terroir and produce world class Pinot Noirs of prodigious quality for generations to come. Our emphasis is on the meticulous management of each vine through biodynamic farming, while combining state of the art winemaking and old world technique to handcraft wines of complexity, grace and profoundness - each one, we believe, a reflection of it's soul and unique place .

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Chehalem Mountains Wine

Willamette Valley, Oregon

View all products

The Chehalem Mountains is a northwest-southeast span of several distinct mountains, ridges and peaks in the northern part of the Willamette Valley. Of all of Willamette Valley's smaller AVAs, it is closest to the city of Portland. Its highest summit, Bald Peak at an elevation of 1,633 feet, serves to generate cooler air for the rest of the AVA and its hillside vineyards. The region covers 70,000 acres but only 1,600 acres are planted to vines; soils of the Chehalem Mountains are a mix of basalt, ocean sediment and loess.
