RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Vivid raspberry, pomegranate and rose petal aromas lead to supple and well-built flavors that build richness and vibrancy on a lingering finish...

93Wine Enthusiast

Firm, tart and downright juicy, this offers a unique fruit mix, with well-blended pomegranate, cherry, sweet pineapple and orange peel...adding some crunch to the finish.

92James Suckling

A thread of ripe dark cherries and blueberries on offer here, on a very attractive nose with such freshness and richness combined. The palate has finely textured tannins and a wealth of impressively plush blueberry and cassis flavors with a smooth, nutty texture at the finish...

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.
