RATINGS

93Wine Enthusiast

The aromas of powdered sugar lightly sprinkled on a blueberry scone and a touch of orange juice are like brunch in a glass. Ripe blackberries kick off the flavors, followed by black-tea and peppery nettle notes. These flavors feel thick on the palate, accompanied by firm tannins.

92James Suckling

Balance and purity are hallmarks of this red cherry-scented wine that’s backed by light tannins and great acidity on a medium body. Sour cherries, black cherries, cinnamon and clove nuances on the palate keep you coming back for more sips.

91Vinous / IWC

...smoldering aromas of ashen stones, plum sauce and grilled herbs. It's soft and round yet racy in feel with crisp wild berry fruits and hints of citrus that add lovely contrast. It finishes with a pleasantly bitter tinge, tapering off long, staining and gently tannic.

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.
