RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...alluring perfume of cherry and raspberry with a hint of eucalyptus in the background. Sweet, smooth, and layered...

91Wine Spectator

Polished, complex and distinctive for a meaty iron note that adds depth to the cherry and fresh orange peel flavors at the center, persisting smoothly against a light veil of tannins on the long, expressive finish.

90+ Vinous / IWC

Bright cherry, blackberry, flowers and smoky herbacity on the nose. Bitter cherry and candied redcurrant flavors gain weight with air, taking a turn to darker blackberry and chocolate on the back end. Chewy tannins gain momentum on the long, sappy finish, which leaves behind a trace of spicy oak.

90Wine Enthusiast

...ripe and delivers spicy berry fruit along with earthier streaks of leaf, herb, baking spices and a whiff of cinnamon.

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.
