Also known as Oregon
Oregon's Pinot Noir heartland — Burgundian finesse with Pacific Northwest fruit.
South of Portland, the cool, rainy Willamette Valley has become one of the world's great Pinot Noir regions. The wines are more delicate and earthy than California's, and the Chardonnay and Pinot Gris are excellent too.
