2018 Articulate Oregon Pinot Noir

They really enjoy talking about soil — specifically the types of soil you’ll find in their vineyards. They may be waxing eloquent about their Merlot from the Gorge or their Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley, but it all boils down to one commonality: They taste like Oregon.

So it is with the 2018 Articulate Pinot Noir, which was crafted from grapes grown in a handful of the state’s hundreds of vineyards. Although Oregon is relatively young when it comes to wine, with virtually all of the growth occurring during the last 50 years, it has attracted international acclaim for its wines.

Many pioneers of Oregon winemaking have been succeeded by a second generation of farmers — men and women who are carrying on the commitment to a sense of a place. Taste the Articulate Pinot Noir and you’ll not only encounter an abundance of red fruit flavors; you’ll taste Oregon.
