The Willamette Valley is unquestionably one of the world’s great Pinot Noir (and I’d argue Chardonnay) regions.
For those who remain sceptical, I would point to the long track record that the region’s founding producers, like Eyrie, Ponzi, Bethel Heights, and Sokol Blosser (to name only a few), have in producing quality Pinot Noir vintage after vintage.
Likewise, many second-generation winemakers continue to elevate the Willamette Valley’s profile. Second-wave producers like Beaux Frères and Cristom Vineyards have only added to the region’s growing reputation for quality and consistency.
