A true expression of Oregon Pinot Noir! A vibrant, complex nose opens with floral, stone fruit and berry aromas - rose petal, violet, pomegranate, plum cherry, raspberry, black currant, boysenberry - that deepen with spice and wood notes - cinnamon, white pepper, thyme, vanilla, cedar, sandalwood, chocolate. Gentle oak aging adds definition supporting a delicious, harmonious balance between tannin, acid and fruit.

A pretty, versatile wine that will pair neatly with many different proteins, from salmon to pork to duck to venison, as well as earthy, rustic vegetables, and bright-red to black fruits like cherry, cranberry, or plum.

A to Z Wineworks was started in 2002 by Oregon wine industry veterans: Deb Hatcher (Eyrie), Bill Hatcher (Domaine Drouhin Oregon), Sam Tannahill (Archery Summit) and Cheryl Francis (Chehalem). The two couples worked in the Hatcher's kitchen to build the original blend, which was honoured by Food & Wine magazine as the Best American Pinot Noir under $20. Recognition for A to Z wines as offering dependable quality for great value continues today, making A to Z the top-selling Oregon wine brand.

The Essence of Oregon Pinot Noir is comprised of superior vineyard blocks carefully selected and blended to craft a special cuvée distinctive for deep flavours and rich texture. In vintages when Essence is made, it is only a tiny portion of A to Z’s production, offering great value for an outstanding Pinot Noir.

A fragrant symphony of sandalwood, cinnamon, and exotic spices greets the nose, unfolding into a rich medley of dried and fresh fruits—orange peel, cherry, pomegranate, raspberry, and plum—layered with hints of dried flowers, anise, vanilla, and nutmeg. Savoury notes of milk chocolate, marshmallow, sweet tobacco, and marionberry jam add depth, while a touch of French oak lends elegance. On the palate, gentle tannins and bright acidity create a balanced, complex wine with a soft, luxurious finish, sure to be an undeniable crowd-pleaser.

A pretty & versatile wine that will pair neatly with most proteins cooked in a wide variety of styles, as well as earthy, and rustic vegetables, along with bright red-black fruits like cherry, cranberry, or plum.
