Oregon Pinot Noir earned top marks from Wine Spectator this month, with three Willamette Valley producers scoring above 95 points in the magazines annual review of American wines. The exceptional ratings mark a high point for the region that has steadily built its reputation over three decades.
Collectors are now seeking out these wines before prices rise further. Several of the highest-rated bottles sold out within hours of the review publication. Retailers report unprecedented demand for Oregon Pinot Noir, with waiting lists forming for future releases.
The strong showing reinforces Oregons position as a world-class wine region, capable of producing wines that compete with the best from Burgundy at a fraction of the price.
