RATINGS

96James Suckling

Aromas of spiced dried berries and berry tea, as well as rose hips, pipe tobacco and strong blueberries. The palate has a very succulent feel with vibrant acidity driving the focused and very pure texture. Crunchy, long and fresh flavors.

95The Wine Advocate

...intense cranberries, blueberries, bergamot and loads of floral perfume on the nose. Medium-bodied, the palate is soft, seamless and intense with expansive flavor layers and a very long, perfumed finish.

95Vinous / IWC

Highly expressive, spice- and mineral-tinged red fruits, candied flowers, musky earth and incense qualities on the perfumed nose. Silky and energetic on the palate, offering pliant raspberry, cherry pie and rose pastille flavors that become weightier as the wine stretches out. Shows superb clarity and floral lift on a strikingly long, incisive finish braced by polished, well-integrated tannins.

94Wine Enthusiast

Tart and elegant, the basic framing of fruit and acid and tannin is perfect, the raspberry core bright and lingering as it leads into a long finish touching on cherry...elegant wine from start to 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.
