James Rahn Trousseau

James Rahn is a former sommelier who gained recognition for his award-winning wine lists in Chicago and Portland. He has since become a winemaker, producing wines in the Oregon region exclusively using single varietals and plot-specific fruits in the cool climate of Willamette Valley. Rahn’s first vintage was released in 2013, using grapes from Maresh vineyard, one of the oldest vineyards in Oregon that was planted in 1970, and RainSong vineyard, planted in 1984. You will find a lot of less popular varietals from his range, such as Mondeuse and Trousseau!

James Rahn makes small batches and minimal intervention wines from the Willamette Valley with non-mainstream varietals. This crispy and crunchy Trousseau is the perfect example of his wines. With fresh and vibrant red fruits like wild raspberries and juicy cranberries on the nose. This light and well-balanced wine demonstrates a silky texture with bright acidity, with a lingering finish at the end. A very drinkable light red that you will finish without noticing.
