The flaghip wine for this Burgundy house in Oregon by Jean-Nicolas Méo from Domaine Méo-Camuzet with Seattle native Tracy Kendall, who counts Jacques Tardy of Torii Mor in the Willamette Valley among her early mentors. There’s an early whiff of Burgundy that leads to a wealth of Marionberry, black cherry and herbs. Inside, it’s a bright, pleasurable and fruit-filled blend of Rainier and Montmorency cherries, trailing out with a lick of Craisin. Meo and co-owner Jay Boberg continue to reap the rewards of Bishop Creek, their estate vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton, and Kendall worked with sites in three other appellations to increased production by 25% from the 2015 vintage, making this easier to track down.
