Willakenzie Estate, located in the Yamhill-Carlton area of the Willamette Valley, specializes in offering several site-specific bottlings "each a pure expressions of its terroir." The Estate Cuvee, however, blends grapes from several of these vineyards, and, from my experience, the result is fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed two bottles of the 2015 Estate Cuvee; this is my first taste of the 2017, which earned 92+ points from Erin Brooks of the Wine Advocate.
Medium light color. Intense scents and flavors of red fruit, fruit leather, flowers and citrus zest. Medium light body. Good balance of acid and tannin but needs time. Gets riper and deeper as it airs.
