RATINGS

97James Suckling

This has a very impressive sense of depth and plushness with very long and deeply silky tannins that deliver a super long, super seamless and swirling, x-factor textural allure. Fresh, even-paced and intensely compelling pinot. Finishes as the name suggests.

95Wine Spectator

Polished and seductive, with a bright, complex core of raspberry, violet and orange peel flavors that glides on the finish toward refined tannins.

95Vinous / IWC

Powerful, spice-accented dark berry, cherry cola and fruitcake aromas... Alluringly sweet and broad in the mouth, offering intense black raspberry, cherry liqueur, star anise and floral pastille flavors... Smoothly plays richness off energy and finishes supple and extremely long, with lingering mocha and cola notes and velvety tannins that add shape and subtle grip.

93The Wine Advocate

...bright red cherries and cranberries on the nose plus touches of blackberry preserves, shaved nutmeg and forest floor... Light to medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with warm, ripe black and red fruits and touches of baking spice, tilled earth and licorice, with fine, grainy tannins and very juicy, mouthwatering acidity, finishing very long and spicy.

93Burghound.com

...a trace of menthol on the ripe and deeply pitched plum, dark berry liqueur and beautifully spiced nose. The velvet-textured, opulently rich and highly seductive larger-scaled flavors possess very fine mid-palate density as well as excellent complexity and length on the slightly warm finish.

93Wine Enthusiast

Aromatic and complex, this nicely detailed release has benefited from a bit of extra bottle aging. Berry, cherry and plum flavors are well integrated, buoyed by supporting acidity and a mocha barrel tone.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley

Willamette Valley AVA was established in 1983, and it is the oldest appellation in Oregon. Oregon’s modern wine industry began in the Willamette Valley in the 1960s when artists, vagabond winemakers, and U.C. Davis oenology graduates looking for new territory started their own, small, off-the-grid wineries. The appellation is the state’s largest, and it extends 175 miles from Columbia River on the Washington/Oregon border to just south of Eugene, near central Oregon. The Willamette River runs through the area, helping to give the appellation a mild year-round climate. There are six smaller sub-appellations within this AVA, but altogether the Willamette Valley has the largest concentration of wineries in Oregon, as well as the majority of the state’s most famous producers. Pinot Noir is king here, followed by Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling. To most admirers of Oregon Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley offers the most distinctive wine choices in the state.

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.
