RATINGS

95James Suckling

...violet aromas with blueberry, cherry and plum notes, as well as a thread of blackcurrants. The palate has a very juicy edge with such succulent acidity that delivers a lively drive of fresh, quite crisp, blue-fruit flavors.

94The Wine Advocate

...opening aromas of forest floor, laurel, tobacco leaves and woodsmoke with red and black berry fruits. The medium-bodied palate is silky and juicy with a fine balance of intense fruit and earthy accents, and it finishes long and savory.

94Vinous / IWC

Highly perfumed, mineral- and spice-tinged red berry, cherry and incense aromas carry a suave floral nuance. Seamless and animated on the palate, offering intense raspberry, bitter cherry, spicecake and rose pastille flavors and a touch of succulent herbs on the back half. Finishes silky, spicy and impressively long, displaying excellent clarity and fine-grained tannins that lend gentle grip.

93Wine Enthusiast

...ripest...fruit-forward...chunky...with a solid core of cherry fruit and balancing acids.

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.
