Oregon Pinot Passion
By French Winemaker!

Mission Codename From Tahiti to...

“Winemaking opened up a world to me. Growing up in the cellar in the small village of Meloisey, I felt very restricted, the world felt small. After I went back to school, I realized that with this knowledge and skill of winemaking I could literally work anywhere in the world.” - Winemaker Bruno Corneaux

Anywhere? Every other French-born winemaker in the US has made wine in Bordeaux or Burgundy. How about Tahiti! As in some of the best wines in French Polynesia? Who can claim that fame?!

A 4th generation Burgundian, Bruno Corneaux, has been there, done that, settling in the Willamette Valley to make wine for Domaine Drouhin, Soléna Estate, Hyland Estates, and finally his own winery Domaine Divio, along with this tiny project that highlights the best sources of fruit he has access to.

Chehalem Mountains is as classy as the sub-appellations of Oregon Pinot get, with flashy names such as Beaux Frères, Bergström, Chehalem, Patricia Green, and Ponzi calling it home.

No wonder this is so delicious! Our panel kept passing the bottle around until it was empty. Immediate red berries leap from the glass to fill the room, with raspberry coulis and cranberries leading. At the first sip, they continue to dominate, while cinnamon-accented baking spices and candied red apple mingle with forest floor and cardamom on the fine-grained sweet espresso finish that accentuates the fruit and the tannins. With a juicy cut of wild-caught Pacific sockeye drizzled with a balsamic reduction, this Pinot will make for a most memorable, and affordable evening.

With the exception of a few fine shops and wine bars, most of which are tiny local ones, you will not find this wine anywhere else but here! While it lasts that is as only a few barres were made.
