Vintage Character Limited Addition Red Crush 2023 is a red blend from Oregon’s Willamette Valley, bringing together Trousseau, Gamay and Pinot Noir. The combination places less familiar varieties alongside one of the region’s best-known grapes, in a wine intended for relaxed drinking. At 12.5% alcohol, this is a bright, juicy red that can be served with a slight chill. It is a distinct bottling from the producer’s Rosé Crush, despite the similar names.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Strawberry and tart cherry lead the fruit character, with rhubarb and garden-herb notes adding a lively, savoury accent. Its refreshing style suits food with a little richness or char: try grilled burgers, mushroom pizza or Korean fried chicken. A brief chill helps emphasize the wine’s lively fruit, while its easygoing character makes it comfortable at an informal meal.
Winery Background Limited Addition is a small-scale, hands-on project built around collaborations with growers in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Its wines explore alternative grape varieties and a more diverse regional wine landscape through thoughtful farming and winemaking. Red Crush fits that approach by combining three complementary grapes in a single blend, offering a different perspective on Willamette Valley red wine alongside its established Pinot Noir tradition.
