RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

...notes of fresh rose petals and rosemary...flavors of lemon, butter and toasted hazelnuts. Notes of saline and mustard seeds join in on the wine's long finish.

93James Suckling

This has ripe tropical fruit with hints of cashews, toffee and dried herbs. Crisp and tangy palate with a medium to full body and juicy lemon pith character in the middle. Balanced and complex with a textured and peachy aftertaste.

92Wine Spectator

Sleek yet richly styled, with generous flavors of pear, orange blossom and lemon that glide on a dynamic finish.

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Flinty, lightly floral, lemon-blossom, toast and vanilla nose. An attractive yogurt tang emerges as the wine warms up. Straightforward and elegant.

PRODUCER

Archery Summit

Archery Summit is a 115-acre estate in Dayton, Oregon. It was founded in 1993 by the late Robert Gary Andrus, a former Olympic skier who started his winemaking career in 1978 when he founded Pine Ridge in Napa Valley. Andrus sold his interest in Archery Summit in 2001 to Crimson Wine Group, a Napa-based portfolio of small, artisanal wineries. Under Andrus and now Crimson, Archery Summit has built a reputation of outstanding Pinot Noirs. Wine Spectator has written that Archery Summit’s Pinots “rival Burgundy” in quality. Harvey Steinman of Wine Spectator has called Archery Summit “the Rolls Royce of Oregon Pinot Noir.”

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

White Wine, Chardonnay

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
