Description
Red Wine by Erath from Willamette Valley, Oregon. Willakia boasts panoramic views of the region’s beauty and this wine reflects these varied vistas, an Oregon bounty. Aromas of blackberry, pine, toasted hazelnuts and wet rock introduce flavors of black cherry, loganberry and mocha. Youthful, but already showing signs of its inevitable complexity. Erath’s 119-acre Willakia Vineyard is located in the prestigious Eola-Amity Hills Appellation. During the growing season, the region benefits from the temperature-moderating effect of the prevailing ocean breezes that flow through Van Duzer Corridor. The vineyard is divided into small blocks with diverse clones and rootstocks based on the aspects, slopes and orientations of the vineyard’sbeautiful rolling lands. These unique characteristics serve to complete Winemaker Gary Horner’s philosophy of producing small, single vineyard wines to achieve high-quality and unique interpretations of Oregon Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. To date the vineyard is planted with 98 acres of Pinot Noir and 21 acres ofChardonnay. The vineyard is certified sustainably farmed under the LIVE and Salmon Safe programs.
