Oregon Wines | Prices, Types & Reviews

Written By: Brian Freedman on Wednesday, July 12, 2006

Oregon is one of the most important up-and-coming states for wine-production in the America. It may seem like an odd place for a burgeoning wine industry, what with its reputation as a somewhat soggy and pinetree-covered place, but the fact remains that its unique combination of soil, sunlight, and cool Pacific-coast temperatures have proven perfect for the growth of some excellent grapes.

The Willamette Valley is the most important area for wine in Oregon, and it is here that Oregon's vinous pride and joy, Pinot Noir, is grown with the greatest success. Because Pinot Noir is a grape variety that does well in cooler regions (and Oregon is on a similar latitude to Pinot Noir's ancestral home, Burgundy), it has found a most hospitable environment here. The Oregon Pinot Noirs tend to be soft, subtle, and elegant wines, and may of them are priced very reasonably. Oregon is also gaining recognition for its sparkling wines and icewines.
