RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Rich and harmonious, with a sleek and complex core, offering expressive black raspberry, flint and savory pepper flavors that take on vibrancy toward refined tannins.

93The Wine Advocate

...lovely nose of crushed rock, violet and lilac over a core of dried cranberry and red and black cherry. Light to medium-bodied, the palate gives great concentration of red and black fruits with those blue flower accents, fine-grained tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and minerally.

92James Suckling

A very plush and composed, red cherry-fruited pinot that has plenty of red cherries and violets on the nose with an attractively composed, lithe and fresh palate.

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.
