RATINGS

96Wine Enthusiast

...astonishing concentration and power... Ripe apple and peach, olive oil, toasted almonds and plenty of new oak flavors abound.

94Wine Spectator

Tangy, with vibrant acidity and expressive, ripe and citrusy flavors. Offers a distinctive profile of star fruit and quince, homing in on pineapple and mineral notes as the taut finish lingers.

93The Wine Advocate

...enticing bouquet with vibrant citrus fruit, wild honey, hints of brioche and shaved almond, the oak seamlessly integrated...palate is very well balanced with quite sharp acidity on the entry (the pH is 3.17) that lends this fine tension. There is fine structure on the reserved finish with plenty of stone fruit and a twist of fresh lime on the finish.

92Vinous / IWC

Powerful expansive aromas of poached pear melon tangerine toasty lees and minerals carry a suave floral overtone and a touch of iodine... compelling blend of power and finesse and finishes sappy gently sweet and very long leaving sexy vanilla and honeysuckle notes behind

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
