RATINGS

95Wine Spectator

Combines plush richness with remarkable structure, showing expressive river stone and black raspberry aromas and refined, layered cherry, black tea and savory spice flavors that pick up speed toward polished tannins.

94Vinous / IWC

Intensely perfumed, mineral- and spice-accented red/blue fruit and floral oil scents show excellent clarity... Offers palate-staining black raspberry, bitter cherry and spicecake on the palate, with a snap of smoky minerality zesty acidity and a white pepper flourish lending vivacity. Deepens and gains sweetness on the finish, which features lingering violet and spicecake qualities and smooth, polished tannins.

91+ The Wine Advocate

...opens with some tarry/sulfur aromas, giving way with aeration to a black fruit and dark earth core. Medium-bodied, it floods the mouth with warm black cherries and dried blackberry fruit with touches of violet, dried leaves and earth plus a strong line of rocky minerality. It’s structured by powerful but elegant tannins, juicy acidity and a very long, layered finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Very stony nose and then followed by masses of really quite opulent, intense fruit. Really quite rich...finishes clean and zesty. Raspberry-liqueur notes.

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.
