The Coast Range limits direct Pacific influence and the Cascades separate the valley from drier central Oregon. The region has a cool growing climate, but hills, gaps and distance north or south create local differences.
Marine sedimentary, volcanic basalt and windblown loess are the three major hillside soil groups identified by the regional association. Valley-floor alluvium adds another setting within the broad AVA.
Pinot Noir is a red grape with relatively thin skins. It is used for still red wine and as one of the main grapes in many traditional-method sparkling wines.
