RATINGS

92Vinous / IWC

Lively aromas of raspberry, cherry, potpourri, Asian spices and smoky minerals, along with a subtle touch of earthiness. Silky and sweet on the palate, offering energetic red fruit, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that show very good depth and definition. Smooth and intensely floral on the persistent finish, which features silky tannins and a late, exotic touch of blood orange.

92Wine Enthusiast

Primary fruit flavors of strawberry and cherry gather weight with airing, and the wonderful purity of the wine begins to shine...lengthy finish is detailed by herb, berry and citrus—subtle, well-integrated flavors...

91Burghound.com

A riper and attractively complex nose blends notes of poached plum, violet, spice and hints of briar and underbrush. There is better volume and mid-palate density to the appealingly rich, succulent and much more seductively textured flavors that culminate in a crunchy, delicious and much better balanced finale...really quite good...

91James Suckling

...shows red plums, cherries, cedar and crushed red flowers...palate has impressive freshness and lively, crushed red-fruit flavors...finish is plush, balanced and bright.

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.
