Tasting Friday 4-7pm: 2024 in the Willamette Valley 🤯 a mind-blowing vintage
As any farmer (or gardener) knows, some years are better for your crops (or backyard bounty) than others.
The 2024 vintage in Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine country is shaping up to be one for the history books. 📚
With a season of slow and steady ripening, ideal temperatures, and model harvest conditions, the region promises to deliver a vintage that is vibrant, well-balanced, and truly collectible.
Stop by Friday 4-7pm, for a taste of these two fresh, delicious examples:
Limited Addition White Crush 2024
🍇 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Blanc, 25% Sauvignon Blanc
📚 White Crush brings together the valley’s viticultural heritage in old-vine own-rooted Pinot Blanc, the current planting focus of Chardonnay, and the future in Sauvignon Blanc. This is their flagship white blend and an homage to the Willamette Valley, sourced from across all eleven AVAs.
🍋🟩 This wine is a backyard party in a bottle—clean, bright, and full of good vibes. Find aromas of savory lemon peel and honeysuckle, with a refreshing palate bursting with key lime, green apple, and wet stones.
Bow & Arrow Gamay 2024
🍇 100% Gamay
📚 Though the region is often treated as a grand terroir destined to produce fancy Burgundian-style wines, the Willamette was first a blue-collar agricultural area. Bow & Arrow explores this simpler side of the Valley, focusing instead on the working-class varieties of the Loire Valley. Their Gamay uses mostly Eola-Amity and Chehalem Mountains AVA fruit, and is produced by semi-carbonic maceration in concrete vats with indigenous yeast and is unfined and unfiltered.
🍒 Vivid in color and medium-bodied, expect juicy fresh cherries on the nose and an earthy, granite-based minerality with a tart finish...like hard red candy crunch with a twist of cracked pepper!
