25 / WINE TERMS GLOSSARY
SOUTHERN OREGON WINE SCENE / SUMMER 2015
It is with good reason that Jones is considered one of the most authoritative people
in the wine world, one whose opinion is indispensable when it comes to deciding
what variety of wine grape to plant where. Beginning with his doctoral thesis on
the climatology of viticulture in Bordeaux, France, he has collected data on climate,
hydrology, soils, weather and growing techniques in vineyards all over the world,
helping to describe and define viticultural areas and assess best practices based on
the quality of wines produced. His studies have also focused on climate change and
sustainability in grape production, two increasingly hot topics in the wine world today.
His contributions have earned him numerous accolades. He made Decanter magazines
2009 Power List of the fifty most influential people in the wine world and was named
Oregon Wine Press 2009 Wine Person of the Year. In 2012 and 2013 intowine.com listed
Jones among the hundred most influential people in the US wine industry.
In our region, with its emphasis on Pinot Noir, Jones is often called upon to
evaluate sites for possible propagation of this cool weather varietal. Wait a minute.
Did I say Pinot Noir is big in Southern Oregon? Yes, I did. Although this varietal
has been famously identified with the northern reaches of our state, the Willamette
SOUTHERN OREGON
Valley in particular, it has been the predominant wine grape produced in Southern
Oregon for some years. The 2008 Oregon Vineyard and Winery Report compiled
by the Oregon Field Office of the USDA, shows that in the Rogue Valley American
Viticultural Area (AVA), consisting of Jackson and Josephine Counties, the greatest
tonnage of a single varietal harvested was 622 tons of Pinot Noir, with Pinot Gris
a distant second at 445 tons. The 2013 report compiled by the Southern Oregon
University Research Center (SOURCE) puts Pinot Noir tonnage harvested in the
Rogue Valley AVA at 1,788 tons, nearly a three-fold increase in five years. Pinot
Gris again came in second at 1,029 tons.
When you consider that wine grapes are typically produced where the growing
season temperatures average between 53 and 71 degrees Fahrenheit and that Pinot
Noir occupies an even narrower temperature band, 57.2 to 60.8 degrees, the fact
that Oregons most southerly AVA is a Pinot Noir growing area is indeed surprising.
When I ask how this is possible, bearing in mind toasty Rogue Valley summers,
Jones explains that at sites suitable for Pinot Noir, temperatures are moderated
by aspect and elevation. Slopes that receive primarily morning light are cooler
than those with western exposure. Think of it as being similar to your house, he
says. You wouldnt grow the same plants on the shady side as you would on the
sunny side. With its northeast-facing slopes, DANCIN Vineyards, just outside
Jacksonville, is a good example of the cooling effect of aspect. Higher vineyard
elevations in the southeastern part of the Rogue Valley AVA also result in cooler
temperatures. A good example of a higher site that produces excellent Pinot Noir
is Irvine Family Vineyards in Ashlands Bear Creek Drainage, where vines thrive
on east-facing slopes at 2,100 feet. What makes our Southern Oregon wine region
so special is that growing sites run the temperature gamut from those favoring
the cool varietals to the warmer conditions that make for Red Lilys lucious
Tempranillo and Quady Norths big Syrah.
Jones hastens to add that Pinot Noir from Southern Oregon is typically a little
more ripe, producing vintages with darker berry and plum notes on the palate, as
compared to the lighter, more bright fruit Willamette flavors. Its little wonder that
much of the Pinot Noir produced in Southern Oregon makes its way up north for
blending purposes, especially in years when ripening in the northern AVAs has
been problematic.
We also talked about cultivation practices that can protect grapes from excessive
heat. In warmer vineyard blocks, canopies may be left leafier rather than being
pruned to a narrow, straight up and down profile. This affords the fruit more
shade and coolness. Row orientation and trellising strategies can be used for heat
management as can application of kaolinite and bentonite. Jones asks if I have
ever noticed the local pear orchards, how the leaves sometimes look white. In
response to my blank look, he explains that whitish appearance is the result of
treating the trees with kaolinite. When sprayed on the leaves, the powdered mineral
reflects heat to cool the tree the way a white roof cools your house. Bentonite
is a clay that attracts water. When applied around plant roots it helps retain
moisture. Such practices will become
increasingly important aspects of vineyard
management given the continued impact
of climate change.
And what about climate change? Jones
is among those scientists who contend that
although changes in climate have occurred
throughout history, climate changes noted
in recent times appear to be more rapid
and of greater magnitude than in the past.
What does this portend for the Southern
Oregon wine industry? Undoubtedly there
will be more challenges. Fortunately, in
Greg Jones we have one of the worlds
foremost experts on the subject to help our
growers face them.

THANK YOU!
This premier issue of Southern Oregon Wine Scene was only possible thanks to
generous, talented and passionate people who offered us their time, advice,
expertise, guidance and friendship! Our sincere thanks go to Steven Addington,
Terry Brandborg, Donna Briggs, Laurel Briggs, Linda Bradley, Rene Brons, Vicki
Capp, MJ Daspit, Michael Donovan, Jim Fredericks, Marilyn Hawkins, Carolyn
Hill, Michael Kell, Kim Kinderman, Dan Marca, Les Martin, Anne Root, Cal & Judy

SOUTHERN OREGON WINE SCENE / SUMMER 2015
any people ask, Why take a wine tour? Cant I just drive myself? With 80+
registered wineries throughout the Southern Oregon AVA (American
Viticultural Area), the better question to ask is, Where do I want to go and who
do I trust to get me there and back? A designated driver is always a good ideaa
winery tour may be even better!
Southern Oregon produces not only diverse wines but custom tours to gratify
your palate and pleasure. Most companies offer winery tours for both small and
large groups, cater to weddings, special events and holidays, and are here to fill your
glass with distinctive wines and tasting experiences that only Southern Oregon
offers. Tours are affordable, can be customized, may include special perks and
prices at wineries, and best of all, you can be social and simply enjoy the ride.
As Brad Niva, owner of Wine Hopper Tours highlights, We like to slow everything
down. He emphasizes the tours are not just for tourists but special for locals, as well.
Many local people don't realize what is here. But they can see the beauty and learn
about the wine and wine country on a guided tour. We are ambassadors and our job
is to pull people out of the valley and up into the wine lands of Southern Oregon.
On tours, people of the region and beyond can learn the importance of living
within a vinicultural community. They become more aware of the potential the
wine industry can bring to a community. People don't always understand what
a wine culture is, that wine is not just for a party, but is a business, an industry,
and a lifestyle. In our shift from timber to tourism, the beauty of our area and the
distinguishing features of our diverse wines have already put us on the map.
Recently, Into the Vineyard, an international wine touring company featuring luxury
tours to the finest wine regions on the planet added a new tour areaSouthern Oregon!

Wine tours are hot these days. They give you the opportunity to unwind, enjoy
the scenery and stay legal. So heres how to get your wine onRogue-stylewith
the ambassadors of Southern Oregon wine touring.
Wine Hopper Tours is now in their 5th season. The service was prompted by
requests from local hotels looking for a way to support the growing wine
industry while offering safety and high-quality service to their guests. Niva
says their number of tours has doubled every year since. Wine Hopper Tours
are wine-industry friendly, education-based programs with no drinking onboard the vans but with plenty of room to bring wine back with you. As Brad
Niva reiterates, We are a developed type of tour and not a booze cruise. Wine
Hopper considers themselves as guests visiting the wineries and strives to be
good guests by embracing the wine industry as a whole, not just the wines.
Within the tour, guests are treated as wine club members for the day, with
discounts applying. They serve-up locally-sourced food at every stop and
are conscious of specific dietary needs. Wine Hoppers goal is to help people
understand and appreciate the wine lands of Southern Oregon. We aim to
share what we have here and inspire people to take some Southern Oregon wine
home with them, says Niva.
Bravo Outings is in their third season and listed as one of the Top 5 things to
do out of Ashland. Owner Tracy Rice says they do tours for one person up to
corporate groups. Were different in this type of private tour in that every tour
is customized. We don't have a one size fits all. I ask what type of varietals people
prefer and the overall experience of what people want and create the tour based on
that information.

Fortunately, the Ginets had never plowed one of their pastures, resplendent in
native grasses. Plaisance also produces particularly-sweet hay, they say. Priced from
$6 to $19 per pound, the full spectrum of beef cuts, as well as hot dogs and jerky,
are available at the Williams Farmers Market and Grants Pass Growers Market.
People know that it is local, and it is fresh, and theyre welcome to come out and
see the cows, says Suzi Ginet.
Local has become way more important than it used to be, says Joe Ginet. Its
almost equal to organic and grass-fed.
Beyond the organic pedigree, locally grown and produced foods retain more
nutrients in the short trip to farmers markets, says Lyon, compared with grocerystore counterparts that travel hundreds or thousands of miles after harvest.
Bypassing days or weeks in storage, farmers-market produce stays fresher longer
after purchase, making it a better value, says Lyon.
It makes you feel good about spending the money.
Customers feel even better about buying Lyons salads, soups, quiches, potpies
and other to-go dishes when they know she selected ingredients at farmers markets.
The chef intentionally sets up her Farm Kitchen stall next to the booth for Central
Points historical Hanley Farm, where Lyon not only sources seasonal vegetables but
also hosts special events, including winemaker dinners.
Its amazing to have that close connection, she says. A wine culture and a food
culture need to feed off of each other.
