Staff Pick Notes

There aren't too many producers where I will, without having tried them, take home a bottle of any new release or vintage we get. Swick is one of them. Joe Swick spent ten years making his way across the world, working for wineries as far flung as Domaine Serene, Ceretto, Niepoort, and Kosta Browne. He eventually came home to Oregon, where he now makes terroir focused wine where, in his own words, there is "nothing added to the wine and nothing taken away." This Pinot Noir, a blend of fruit from the Cancilla and Silvershot vineyards, is made with whole cluster semi-carbonic fermentation and spent about 10mo in 500-liter 5-year-old barrels. It's bottled unfiltered with minimal sulfur. To me, it hits the perfect balance of damp earth, gravel, underbrush to bursting red fruits, violets, and bright acidity.

Glossary

Pinot Noir

The Burgundy region of northeastern France is the historic home of the Pinot Noir grape, and is the source of the world’s greatest examples. Here one finds renditions of Pinot Noir that deliver power with finesse and grace, wines that have unimaginable depth of flavor, yet are perfectly balanced and ephemeral in the mouth - in short, wines that deliver all that Pinot Noir has to offer. Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...

Willamette Valley

Perhaps the most familiar wine producing region in Oregon, the Willamette Valley is actually a group of distinct AVA's (American Viticultural Areas). This varied area is home to approximately two thirds of Oregon's wineries. Bounded roughly by the cities of Portland in the north and Eugene in the south, the near-idyllic wine growing region is cradled between the Cascade Mountain Range on its east side and the Coastal Range to the west, and produces some of America's most sublime expressions of...

Oregon

The largest wine region in Oregon is the Willamette Valley, lying between the cities of Portland and Eugene and home to most of Oregon’s wineries. As it does not have one homogeneous climate, it has been broken up into several different AVAs. In the best of them, the perfect amounts of wind, rain, sun exposure, and altitude combine to give Pinot Noir the warm days and cool nights it needs in order to thrive. Combine that with good drainage and poor soils, and you’ve got the perfect environment...
