Upcoming Tasting Notes:
Helioterra 2022 Viognier (vee-own-yay!)
Dion Vineyard - Chehalem Mountains Grown by Kevin Johnson and Beth Klingner
Planted in 1973 by Ron and Joanne Johnson, this vineyard grows many varieties, in particular Pinot Noir and a small plot of cool climate Syrah. The Johnson family has since expanded to 60 acres, with the younger generation of the Johnson family at the helm. Graceful fruit and flowers swirl from the glass. Notes of honeysuckle, apricot and gentle tangerine with a breath of pleasing bitterness. Honeysuckle and honeyed almond notes carry through the dry and slightly oily finish. Pair this wine with cuisine of the same delicacy; lobster, crab, pork or chicken with apricot sauce, lightly seasoned meats (ie:herbs of Provence, orange
zest, dill) or a bountiful vegetable entrée celebrating spring harvest.
Whoa Nelly 2022 Pinot Blanc
Yamhill Carlton, Willamette Valley
Whoa Nelly Pinot Blanc is a refreshing and lively surprise backed by the perfect balance of stone fruit and citrus. With the subtler white peach and flowers tethered by pluckier notes of orange blossom, kaffir lime, and minerality, and a broad mid-
palate that offers ripe melon and a hint of zest, this wine will knock your boots right off. Nelly Pinot Blanc has a bit more weight to the palate so take the pairing up a few notches and this could also be a fun pairing for white sauce flatbreads and slightly spicy Asian cuisine.
Whoa Nelly 2022 Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley
Our 2022 Pinot is a delight of simple pleasures, with sprightly hints of cheery red fruits and damp earth, alongside mouth filling, brambly notes of black cherry and currants. The round palate offers a blend of bright and dark delights (cola, dark cherry, dried fig), mouth-filling tannins, balanced acidity, and a creamy savoriness that lingers (but waits for no one). Classic pairings work harmoniously with lil Nelly Pinot Noir: duck , mushroom dishes, salmon. You can also partner Nelly with wood fired pizza, a hefty charcuterie board, game meats or a root vegetable risotto.
Helioterra 2019 Pinot Noir
A blend of vineyard sites throughout the Chehalem Mountains AVA, the northern Willamette Valley, and the Eola-Amity Hills AVA
Helioterra Pinot Noir delivers depth, layer and formality. This Pinot bursts with red fruits and floral notes but then continues with velvety cherry notes, warm wild strawberries and earth. The finish for this Pinot Noir stays true to the fruit profile, the tannins are woven and silky and the finish is lengthy. Elegant yet mighty. Would pair well with a refined classic Pinot Noir dish and maybe add slow cooked compote or berry drizzle to accentuate the rich fruit notes.
Helioterra 2021 Grenache
Oasis Vineyard - Horse Heaven Hills Grown by Derek Hill
Managed with a philosophy of minimalism, Oasis allows the plants to do what they are designed to do. Hill explains, “We are here to shepherd that process rather than determine it.”
This is a unique offering that Anne brings to us from Washington State. A dive into decadent blackberry, plum and currant wrapped in leather and spice. This is a full bodied wine with bold fruit characteristics and a muscular tannin structure.
This Grenache can handle intensity; pair alongside roasted, braised or grilled meats, well-spiced vegetables or with chocolate desserts.
