Discover what sets Oregon Pinot Noir apart in this exclusive seminar, led by Willamette Valley legend Eugenia Keegan. This tasting will highlight six distinctive wines from three celebrated Oregon brands: WillaKenzie Estate, Penner-Ash Wine Cellars, and Gran Moraine. Each duo of wines will showcase a unique attribute of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, exploring vintage variation, soil diversity, and agreeability. Through WillaKenzie’s flagship Estate Pinot Noir, you will taste how September weather can dramatically change a wine’s expression. You will experience the influence of volcanic vs. marine sedimentary soils with Penner-Ash’s Élevée and Shea Vineyard Pinots. Lastly, you will witness the age-worthiness granted to Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley with Gran Moraine’s library and current releases.
