Description

Phelps Creek, a small boutique winery specializing in cooler-climate wines in the Columbia Gorge, combines intensive vineyard care with the Burgundian winemaking expertise of Alexandrine Roy, a fourth-generation winemaker from Gevrey-Chambertin, France. Each season, Alexandrine joins from France, sharing her traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques, resulting in Cuvée Alexandrine—a reserve Pinot Noir crafted from her personal selection of the finest native yeast fermented estate barrels.

The renowned tobacco and spice nuances, arising from volcanic soils, impart a lingering structure featuring savory red and dark fruit expressions, with acidity allowing for prolonged aging potential. A variety of clones and micro-climates contribute to a multi-layered sensory experience.
