About Youngberg Hill
Founded in 1989 and one of Wine Spectator’s favorite locations, a 50-acre hilltop holds Youngberg Hill’s 30-year-old vineyard. Proud of their “green” approach to winemaking and wine-country living, their wines are a pure expression of the beautiful Oregon vineyard and its terroir.

Life Is Like A Hurricane Here In Youngberg

TASTING NOTES:
“The Jordan is a big mouthful of fruit with an equal balance of fruit tannins and acid. Aromatics earthy notes of new rain in the forest and toasted barrel. Prominent flavors of red currant, Italian plum, and black tea cover your palate, with a long lingering finish.” (AbV 13.7%, pH 3.2, TA 6.7, Brix 21.7) 2018-2022 drinking window.

BARRELS
35% New Oak and barreled for 13 months.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The theme song of Disney’s 1980’s animated series DuckTales is the diabolical work of composer Mark Mueller, along with the theme for Chip ’n Dale Rescue Rangers. I say diabolical because they are some of the catchiest damn theme songs to ever be written. Anyway, the opening line of the DuckTales theme is, “Life is like a hurricane here in Duckberg.”

PAIRS WITH (recommended):
Thick beef sirloin, venison, lamb, and rabbit.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
Duck tails?
