Bow & Arrow "Time Machine" Rouge, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2022

FROM BOW & ARROW: THE WINE: Our cellar’s daily drinker. This year's rendition features a blend of Pinot Noir, Gamay and Cab Franc that has spent time in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak. Bright, fresh, crunchy and great acidity. This wine is equally comfortable on a dinner table entertaining guests, as it is on a front porch with a slight chill on hot summer days. THE PRODUCER: Bow & Arrow is my interpretation of the Willamette Valley’s humble terroir. The most important parts of that equation are the Willamette Valley and “humble.” Our growing region is frequently approached as a grand terroir destined to produce prestigious wines with an implicit Burgundian influence. I’m honored to make wine here. Still, the valley I know and love is as much a blue-collar agricultural area as it is a boutique wine destination. It’s as much a collection of relatively simple, clay dominated soils as it is home to multi-generation family estates and renowned AVA’s. Bow & Arr
