Oregon
Oregon is recognized as one of the premier wine growing regions in the world. It is best known for its world-class Pinot Noir, grown predominantly in the Willamette Valley. There, Pinot Noir tends to take a bit of Burgundy's and California's best attributes: a bit of the dry, mineral driven notes of Burgundy with the ripe cherry and spice flavors of California. Neither overpowering the other, Oregon Pinots are recognized as some of the finest being produced today.
In addition to Pinot Noir, Oregon produces excellent whites such as Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris and even Gewürztraminer.
