Oregon Wines

Oregon is truly a breathtaking region, especially if you’re just visiting and aren’t used to the spectacular views and vistas it offers. Such places can truly rekindle one’s connection with nature, and remind us of much simpler, more wholesome values. For wine lovers, Oregon is America’s third most influential viticultural region, trailing just a hair behind Washington and California. If you’re a fan of Pinot Noir, Oregon is almost certainly the best New World region to visit, as their mastery of the varietal is otherworldly.

Slightly less fruit-forward than most of their competition, Oregon’s finest wines nonetheless offer a precise and mouth-watering combination of flavors and aromatics. An earthy canvas with generous splashes of juicy cranberries, warm coffee, blueberries, spice, and tobacco awaits the curious, along with intricate textures that caress the entire mouth before a prolonged, generous finish. Sip follows sip as your understanding of the wine slowly grows until the bottle is empty. It’s in these situations that wine lovers sometimes regret not purchasing in bulk, so make sure your cellar has enough Oregon to last a few months!

Whether you’re in the mood for a private drinking session, or you’re looking to enhance an already rich and hearty meal, perhaps with some friends and business associates, you can’t go wrong with some classy, Oregon-style Pinot Noir. The nostalgia-inspiring flavor of the wine goes remarkably well with a variety of meat-based dishes, as well as every fine cheese you can think of. Experience the joys of New World viticultural excellence with Oregon’s finest.

2010 Clarendon Hills Astralis, Australia Red

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Astralis is still quite primary eliciting aromas of black plums, blueberry compote and blackcurrant liqueur with a savory and baking spice undercurrent plus a fragrant whiff of violets. Very structured, fine and complex in the medium to full-bodied mouth, this wine is revealing much more than when I first tasted it a year ago and is now showing layer upon layer of black fruit preserves, mocha, toast and spices before finishing with great length. Extraordinary wine. Approachable now, it should cellar to 2030+.I am grateful to Roman Bratasiuk for presenting me with small verticals from his cellar of some of his greatest vineyard sources for this report, including the Merlot (as an indication that Merlot can do well in Australia!), the Old Vines/Romas Vineyard Grenache and a vertical of the Astralis vineyard Shiraz going back to 1991. Readers should note that the 2011 vintage Clarendon Hills wines are being released a little later than usual and therefore were not available for tasting in time for this report. However, I have been informed that they will be available for tasting very soon and will hopefully make the South Australia report.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 100 RPGood yields, warm days and cool nights with even ripening. This has a complex nose with dried meat, wet earth, black truffle and black tea, together with ripe dark plums and blackberries. Sweet spices and hints of leather, too. The palate has a plush, supple and concentrated feel with good freshness of blueberry flavor. Cocoa and dark chocolate here, as well as rich dark plums. Hints of espresso to close. Complex and composed. Drink now.James Suckling | 97 JS
