Founded in 2001 by four friends from two families, Cheryl Francis, Sam Tannahill and Bill and Deb Hatcher. As a negociant, A to Z specializes in blending wines to achieve richness, harmony and complexity that will express the essence of Oregon through each varietal.

"Our 2007 A to Z Pinot Noir is true to variety and vintage with bold aromatics and a palate to please. This wine has moderately-deep color and a tannin profile to match. The dark spices on the nose and palate complement the flavors you would expect from a good Oregon Pinot Noir: blackberry, raspberry, black cherry and earth. The oak profile is restrained and the natural acidity from the 2007 vintage gives the wine precision and tautness. "(A to Z Winery notes)

"Sweet, caramel-edged red fruit. Dry, lightish, friendly and no edges. Not bad for the price (in the context of Oregon Pinot). 16 points" Drink 2010-2012 - JancisRobinson.com 24/2/10.
