WillaKenzie Estate, established in 1991 by Bernard and Ronni LaCroute, is located in Oregon's Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Named after its marine sedimentary soil, the 420-acre estate boasts 103 acres of vineyards planted across diverse terrains. It was the first LIVE-certified winery in the Willamette Valley, emphasizing sustainable practices and biodiversity. The estate's unique feature is its varied landscape, offering a range of elevations, slopes, and exposures that contribute to its reputation as one of the most diverse estates in the region. WillaKenzie produces primarily Pinot Noir, including six block-designate wines and an estate blend, along with Chardonnay and other varietals like Gamay and Pinot Blanc.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
Pale ruby-purple, the 2018 Pinot Noir Emery has a pretty perfume of wild berries, licorice, pencil shavings, nori and forest floor, unfolding as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate has an alluring, clay-like texture that anchors its concentrated fruits, and it has a long, fresh, spicy finish. It will benefit from another 2-3 years in bottle or a couple hours in the decanter. Erin Brooks
