Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Initial fruit aromas of Marionberry bramble, cherries, plum, strawberry and guava deepen to reveal notes of brambly earth, cedar, baking spices, brown sugar, pepper, paraffin, dark tobacco and wet slate. On the palate, the wine is juicy and rich with find grained tannins as the fruit becomes even more intense on the tongue, filling the mid-palate. The body of the wine is full, but lithe and focused with a racy, energetic core of modest acidity. It is both bright and bold, complex and complete. This is a lovely wine with personality which will remain interesting over years of aging.

Professional Ratings

  • 94
    This has a very complex, meaty and spicy feel with riper red and dark cherries below. The palate has a very supple feel with fine-grained tannins, carrying fleshy red and blue-fruit flavors. Impressive now, but more to come in a year or two. Try from 2023.
  • 92
    Refined and detailed, with slightly brooding blueberry, sandalwood and pepper flavors that expand and take on complexity toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2027.

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.
