RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Opens with a silky texture and then finds an intense beam of loamy acidity and savory tannins that are framed by spirited cherry and basil blossom accents and build richness and tension on the finish.

93The Wine Advocate

...features bright cranberries and blackberries with touches of licorice, charcuterie and dusty earth. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated, savory, earthy and seamlessly framed, finishing very long and spicy.

92Wine Enthusiast

...smooth, dark and toasty wine...layered with whiffs of smoke, espresso and black licorice, matched with dark fruit flavors of black cherry and cassis. It's a big, balanced, sexy wine with polished tannins that leave a trail of tobacco highlights.

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.
