Q

In Oregon, if Pinot Noir is stated on the label, what % must be Pinot Noir

A

90% - Varietal wines from Oregon, with the exception of white and red Bordeaux varieties, major Rhône grapes, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Tannat and Tempranillo, must contain a minimum 90% of the stated varietal, rather than the standard 75%. Thus, Oregon Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris must be composed of a minimum 90% of the respective grape. Oregon also maintains stricter state laws for labeling by region: a wine labeled by an AVA within Oregon must contain a minimum 95% of grapes grown in the respective appellation, rather than the 85% mandated by federal law.
