Winemaker Anne Sery was born on the island of Réunion, 450 miles east of Madagascar in the middle of the Indian Ocean. She studied wine at the Faculté de Bordeaux with the late Denis Dubourdieu, then moved to Oregon to make wine in the Willamette Valley. Trousse-Chemise Cellars is her own label that she started in 2012, making wonderful Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from some of the top vineyard sites in the Willamette Valley. These are amongst some of the top values in Oregon Pinot Noir that can be found today.
Anne Sery's Willamette Valley Pinot Noir pours a medium ruby with pale purple highlights. Aromas of ripe boysenberry, black cherry and raspberry fruits leap from the glass, intermingled with subtle spice notes. On the palate, the dense core of fruit explodes in wave after wave of intense, juicy fruit flavor that seems to never end. The tannins are refined and elegant, perfectly framing the luscious berry and stone fruits while the soft acidity provides an excellent freshness to counter balance the fruit intensity. A classic Oregon Pinot that shouldn't be missed! Enjoy with poached salmon, veal chops with mushrooms or herb-crusted pork loin.
