RATINGS

93Wine Enthusiast

...aromatic mix of lightly funky earth, cherry pie, baking spices and red fruits.

92The Wine Advocate

...blackberries and red berries, gaining depth with an emerging perfume of roses, potpourri, Earl Grey tea leaves and woodsmoke. Medium-bodied and silky, it's concentrated and fresh with a long, nuanced finish.

92Wine Spectator

A luxurious style with bold and plush raspberry and pomegranate flavors accented by spiced tea and plenty of showy, toasty oak.

92Vinous / IWC

Ripe red and blue fruits, candied flowers and hints of mocha and licorice on the fragrant, spice-accented nose. Sappy boysenberry, cherry compote and spicecake flavors... Supple, even tannins emerge on a long, cherry and floral driven finish that leaves a hint of savory herbs behind.

92James Suckling

Ripe, dark-cherry, blue-plum and black-fruit aromas, as we well as earthy notes, flowers and leafy herbs. The palate has a succulent core of powdery tannin that carries blue-tinged fruit flavors.

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.
