    Winemaker Notes

    The best Japanese sake tradition personifies nature. The Y Snow brings you to a place where clouds meet the earth, flakes speckle cedar, and water flows, sinewy and transparent, over polished grey rocks.

    The Snow, in a word, is luscious. Its natural tropical fruit aromas derived from the painstaking koji process (turning of starch in each highly polished grain of rice into sugars) and the multiple parallel fermentation of daiginjo sake making is left totally unfettered - rough filtered so that the wine caresses the palate with its medium sweet, creamy texture and sensuous, wall-to-wall flavors. Gently powerful.

    Food Matches: Robust ribs in sweet-spicy marinades; coconut laced curries; chicken-everybody-likes (tandoori, chile, achiote, jerk, McNuggets); fondue and ponzu, jambalaya and etoufee, chocolate and tapioca… anything fun!

    Since the categories of saké are established not by rice variety, but by their polishing or milling percentages, the saké with the lowest milling requirement, at no less than 30% milled, is simply called Junmai. This means that so that 70% of each rice grain remains. It is solely made of water, koji mold, yeast and rice. Junmai is also brewed in the absence of added alcohol. Some brewers, in search of other flavors, aromas and textures, will add a small amount of distilled alcohol during the brewing process. But the alcohol in any saké labeled Junmai will come purely from fermentation. Pair Junmai with rich flavors and heavily seasoned dishes like pork belly, teriyaki, smoked salmon and furikake.

    One of Pinot Noir's most successful New World outposts, the Willamette Valley is the largest and most important AVA in Oregon. With a continental climate moderated by the influence of the Pacific Ocean, it is perfect for cool-climate viticulture and the production of elegant wines.

    Mountain ranges bordering three sides of the valley, particularly the Chehalem Mountains, provide the option for higher-elevation vineyard sites.

    The valley's three prominent soil types (volcanic, sedimentary and silty, loess) make it unique and create significant differences in wine styles among its vineyards and sub-AVAs. The iron-rich, basalt-based, Jory volcanic soils found commonly in the Dundee Hills are rich in clay and hold water well; the chalky, sedimentary soils of Ribbon Ridge, Yamhill-Carlton and McMinnville encourage complex root systems as vines struggle to search for water and minerals. In the most southern stretch of the Willamette, the Eola-Amity Hills sub-AVA soils are mixed, shallow and well-drained. The Hills' close proximity to the Van Duzer Corridor (which became its own appellation as of 2019) also creates grapes with great concentration and firm acidity, leading to wines that perfectly express both power and grace.

    Though Pinot noir enjoys the limelight here, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay also thrive in the Willamette. Increasing curiosity has risen recently in the potential of others like Grüner Veltliner, Chenin Blanc and Gamay.
