RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Focused and generous, with ripe flavors on a taut frame, offering black cherry and smoky notes and mineral accents that linger harmoniously. Has a certain majesty as the finish persists.

92Vinous / IWC

Powerful black raspberry and cherry cola aromas show excellent clarity and pick up vanilla, candied rose and smoky oak flourishes with air. Fleshy and seamless in texture, offering sweet red and dark berry and cola flavors

90The Wine Advocate

Bouquet with raspberry coulis, wild strawberry and a touch of undergrowth....The palate is medium-bodied with pure raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, fine acidity that is necessary to counterbalance the almost viscous texture.

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.
