Winemaker Notes
The 2018 Chemistry Pinot Noir is a wine with a deep, glowing garnet color, and inviting aromatics of dark berries like boysenberry and black raspberry, earth, and baking spice. The wine is bright on the front palate showing initial flavors of cranberry that evolve to tart cherry and earth with structured tannins on mid-palate and finish.

Very attractive aromas of fresh violets, mixed berries and cherries here. The palate has a smooth, integrated feel with supple, smoothly honed tannins, casting a fresh stream of bright, cherry flavor.

Chemistry is an accessible collaboration between Stoller Family Estate and Chehalem Winery. An exciting new brand targeting a growing category from two of Oregon’s top producers, Chemistry wines are designed for the weekly wine drinker with the belief that everyone should have access to high quality Willamette Valley wines. Balanced, approachable and elegant, our goal is to make the winemaking imprint as minimal as possible in order to craft wines that reflect our region and vintage.
There is a connection that ignites the moment a bottle of wine is placed on a table. It enhances the chemistry of our lives, making each moment extraordinary.
Home of some of the planet’s most amazingly elegant and expressive Pinot noir, the Willamette Valley is a pastoral, mixed landscape of green, bucolic rolling hills, dramatic forestlands and small, independent, friendly wine growers. As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. While the valley claims a cool, continental climate, and is heavily influenced by the cold, moist winds of the Pacific Ocean, its warm and dry summers allow for the steady, even ripening of Pinot noir.
The potential of Willamette Valley Pinot noir continues to attract the investment of serious growers and winemakers both locally and from abroad, as naturally the finished wines bring accolades from professionals and enthusiasts. With a range of styles from delicate dried cherry, raspberry and hibiscus to stronger notes of truffle, mocha, plum and spice, a fine Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a perfect expression of both character and grace.
