Winemaker Notes
A to Z The Essence of Oregon Pinot Noir is comprised of superior vineyard blocks carefully selected and blended to craft a special cuvée distinctive for deep flavors and rich texture. In vintages when Essence is made, it is only a tiny portion of A to Z’s production, offering great value for an outstanding Pinot Noir.
A pretty, versatile wine that will pair neatly with most proteins cooked in a wide variety of styles, as well as earthy, and rustic vegetables, and bright red to black fruits like cherry, cranberry, or plum.

While the Willamette Valley and Pinot Noir are a like a fairy tale match made in heaven, most of Oregon is in fact, a glorious source of Pinot noir. Claiming over half of its total area under vine, Pinot noir also thrives in Southern Oregon’s Umpqua and Rogue Valleys where sedimentary and volcanic soils dominate hillside vineyards and cool temperatures create the perfect environment for Pinot noir. Also, Oregon’s Columbia Gorge is becoming increasingly popular for Pinot noir production. What sets Oregon Pinot noir apart from the Pinot of other regions, both New and Old World, is its innate combination of grace with both power and restraint.
