Willamette Valley

Medium

Cork

Score range: 95-96. Composed of the foundational Pommard, Coury, and Wädenswil clones that helped establish the Willamette Valley, this wine comes from Alexana Estate. In 2005, Dr. Madaiah Revana was drawn to the estate’s undulating hillside, a mosaic of 18 distinct soil types. Winemaker Tresider Burns works alongside Director of Viticulture Drew Herman. Harvest began on 19 September 2024. Elegant and driven by red berry fruit and red florals, with cedarwood accents and notes of blood orange, tangerine, and raspberry. An underlying earthy mineral intensity is matched in intensity by precise, fine-grained, slightly grippy tannins. The texture and length here are especially compelling. A limited special auction lot bottling for the 2026 Willamette Valley Wine Auction.
