Willakenzie Estate

Willakenzie Estate WillaKenzie Estate is located in Oregon's Willamette Valley on rolling hillsides in the Chehalem Mountains. The winery was named after the Willakenzie soil on which the vineyards are planted to convey the influence that the soil imparts on the wine's flavors and aromas. The vineyards are planted with grapes of the Pinot family, mostly new Dijon clones of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from Alsace. Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris are cool climate grapes, which are particularly well adapted to Oregon.

  Pinot Noir Pierre Leon
1999 was an outstanding vintage in Oregon due to a very long growing season.

That time has now come, as we think that the wines are at their best.
