Description

Like Rhinestones, the name Air Guitar is a self-deprecating poke at attempting French-style wines in America. The “least likely to exist” of all of from Willamette Valley sourced wines, this is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from Borgo Pass Vineyard and Cabernet Franc from Johan Vineyard. Don’t let the playful nature of the wine’s label fool you - this is Bow & Arrow's most profound expression of red wine from this region and the one that rewards the most patience. Aged 10 to 12 months in puncheon.

Bow & Arrow

Founded by Scott and Dana Frank in 2010, Bow & Arrow takes inspiration from the wines of France’s Loire Valley, particularly in its emphasis on lesser-known grape varieties and natural winemaking practices. They are passionate about producing wines that break away from the typical Oregon mould, choosing to work with varieties like Gamay, Melon de Bourgogne, and Cabernet Franc. They source their grapes from sustainably farmed vineyards, often working with growers who share their commitment to organic and biodynamic practices. The result is a line-up of wines that are vibrant, fresh, and full of personality, offering a unique expression of the Willamette Valley’s terroir.

Willamette Valley

Willamette Valley, located in Oregon, is a renowned wine region celebrated for its exceptional Pinot Noir and cool-climate varietals. The valley benefits from a temperate maritime climate with mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers, creating ideal conditions for viticulture. The region is particularly famous for its Pinot Noir, which thrives in the Willamette Valley’s diverse soils and moderate temperatures, resulting in wines with complex flavours, vibrant acidity, and elegant structure. The valley also produces high-quality Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Riesling, known for their crispness, freshness, and aromatic profiles. Winemaking in Willamette Valley began in the 1960s, and it has since gained international acclaim for its quality and innovation.
