Patty Green, a legend and a woman in wine I greatly admire for the paths she carved for women winemakers, natural winemaking and champion of Oregon Pinot Noir in all of its glory.

Patricia Green Cellars has an extensive range of Pinot Noir single vineyard wines ONLY, naturally made, sustainable viticulture whereby nature dictating the wine from the terroir up to the bottle. Their commitment to quality, sustainability, and showcasing the terroir of the Willamette Valley makes them a standout in the Oregon wine scene.   Their focus on single vineyard Pinot Noirs allows them to showcase the unique terroir and produce wines with a strong sense of place.

Pinot Noir is their jam, period.

This wine is like a grapevine’s daydream as you pour its deep ruby color in the glass. It opens with a burst of juicy red berries, your summer picnic in a glass. An array of earthiness and savory aromas follow with a subtle hint of cedar, mushroom, vanilla and wet earth. The baking spice adds a cozy sweater feeling for those chilly days that are just around the corner.

Tunes rolling and that first sip 💥 flavors explode on your tongue like a fireworks show! The red fruit notes from the nose are amplified (cherry raspberry and cranberry) with a touch of tartness and savory tomato leaf that keeps it refreshing. The tannins are silky smooth, gliding across your palate like a velvet scarf. There’s a lingering finish on cinnamon and clove that leaves you wanting more.

Bring along this fun-loving wine who’s always up for a good time. It’s playful and approachable, with just the right amount of complexity to keep you in the wine game.

Paired with smokin’ good adobo rubbed center cut pork chops.
