Right here’s a take a look at two new wines from Alexana, based mostly within the Dundee Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Alexana simply handed its twentieth anniversary, and we’re celebrating with them with protection of those new releases.
2024 Alexana Rose of Pinot Noir Property Winery – Fairly and floral, with numerous strawberry and a smear of vanilla custard. Ample acidity retains the wine energetic and refreshing, and the fruit by no means turns into cloying. Because it develops on the palate, notes of guava, orange blossoms, and a few pineapple all zip out and in of the room. The end is clear, although finally the tiniest bit heavy on the florals. A- / $34
2023 Alexana “Mosaic” Pinot Noir Dundee Hills – A quite basic expression of Oregon pinot, undulating with spiced cherry, lacquered walnuts, and rhubarb, touched with light notes of allspice and cloves. Layers of graphite give the wine a chewy earthiness, with mild overtones of greenery peeking out right here and there, all of which stability out any in any other case heavy fruity qualities. Concurrently dense and refreshing, it is a wine that rewards introspection and time in glass. A- / $45
