RATINGS

96James Suckling

...palate has lacy yet strong tannin and a deep-set, flavorsome feel with such long, rich fruit presence, carrying deep on the finish.

95Vinous / IWC

...red fruit liqueur, potpourri, incense and smoky mineral scents are complemented by hints of mocha and exotic spices. Attractively sweet and lively on the palate... Polished tannins frame and shape a powerful, mineral-driven finish that lingers with outstanding persistence and alluring sweetness.

95Wine Enthusiast

...smooth, even silky expression...touch of char around dense black-cherry fruit, with perfectly ripened and proportioned tannins.

93The Wine Advocate

...nose of clove, dried orange peel, potpourri, allspice, cured meats, dried herbs, peppercorn and forest floor with a core of blackberries, red currants and black cherries. Medium-bodied and silky, it offers intense, spiced fruits and amaro notions, knit by firm, grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long.

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.
