RATINGS

92Wine Enthusiast

From the first sniff you can sense the wine's classic structure and balanced depth. The mineral-driven red cherry fruit grabs your attention and grips your tongue. Tannins are balanced and proportionate...flows through an exceptionally dense finish.

91Wine Spectator

...pretty cranberry, cherry and green tea flavors on a sleek frame, lingering delicately against lively acidity.

90The Wine Advocate

...attractive blackberry and bitter red cherry notes, a marine influence developing with time...medium-bodied with lithe tannin in the mouth, well structured by firm tannin...a little savory flavor in the mouth, with touches of dried blood...focused finish. Very fine.

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.
