RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

...highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red berries, orange zest, Asian spices and pungent flowers and unveils a lively mineral nuance with air. Impressively concentrated but also light on its feet, offering vibrant raspberry, blood orange and candied rose flavors that are sharpened by a peppery flourish. Finishes spicy, floral and impressively long, leaving a sappy red berry liqueur note behind.

93James Suckling

...floral nose to this opulent pinot noir, which shows jasmine and rose petals. Dried strawberries, too. A light body, delicious tannins and a focused, bright finish.

92The Wine Advocate

...subdued nose of fresh cranberries and pomegranate with hints of Provence herbs, dried leaves, dusty earth and lavender. Light-bodied, soft and elegant, yet with great intensity and expression, it delivers perfumed red berry flavors with satisfying persistence.

92Wine Enthusiast

...clean, compact, complex and nicely layered...note a spicy mix of cranberry, raspberry and red licorice, along with more subtle hints of curaçao and chocolate.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills

Dundee Hills AVA is in Yamhill County, and it is entirely contained within the Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon’s best known appellation. Dundee Hills is about 30 miles southwest of Portland, and has 1,300 vineyard acres. It was awarded AVA status in 2004 and, like much of Oregon, is known for Pinot Noir. Several of Oregon’s 20th century wine pioneers established their vineyards and wineries in Dundee Hills, adding to its status as a region long-recognized for producing high quality, iconic Oregon wines. Eyrie Vineyards, Erath Winery and Sokol Blosser remain some of Oregon’s most celebrated producers, and all were founded in what is now Dundee Hills in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
