RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

...expressive, highly perfumed nose displays fresh pear, tarragon and iodine qualities, and lemon pith and floral nuances build in the glass. Shows impressive depth as well as vivacity on the palate, offering mineral-tinged Meyer lemon, pear nectar, white peach and honeysuckle flavors...impressively long, finely etched finish, which shows powerful thrust and a hint of smoky lees.

93The Wine Advocate

...wonderful open nose of green and yellow apple and pear with acacia flowers, crushed stone and honey accents. Medium to full-bodied...opening to ripe tree fruit, lemon confit, delicate white blossoms and honey with a wicked line of acidity, finishing very long and textured.

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
