Communiqué [kuh-myoo-ni-key, kuh-myoo-ni-key] Noun. 1. an official bulletin or communication, usually to the press or public. Wine is a living breathing product, expressive of all factors surrounding it. Climate, locale, vineyard practices, and vinification techniques each impart their own set of characteristics on a finished wine. All of these things can vary and blend together to create a wine truly unique to a time and place. This in turn allows the wine itself to become the Communique providing the narrative of each unique vintage to communicate the story of a specific year in a specific region.
For Communique that story begins in 2014 in the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Every year in wine country it is different from the previous year and with that each wine is unique unto itself. Each AVA and vineyard site within, are also unique. Terroir is the characteristic taste and flavor imparted to a wine by the environment in which it is produced. It is that story that Communique strives to tell.
My life as a chef has gifted me with a unique understanding of tastes and flavors and how those tastes and flavors may blend seamlessly into a finished product. A chef’s job is to use many different ingredients in a way that the finished dish is better than the sum of its parts. It is with this philosophy that I approach winemaking. It is my goal to find grapes with different flavor profiles and hope to be able to blend those flavors into one harmonious wine. A wine in which all the flavors (acid, tannin, oak, etc….) are balanced and discernable without any one flavor smacking you in the face.
