RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Spice-tinged red fruits and candied flowers on the fragrant nose. Lively cherry, raspberry and spicecake flavors... The spicy quality carries strongly through a very long, gently tannic finish that leaves bitter cherry, white pepper and rhubarb notes behind.

91James Suckling

An aromatic nose of cherries, red plums, mulberries, smoke and peppercorns. Medium-bodied with chewy tannins. Chalky with vivid acidity. Savory and racy on the palate with a smoky character.

90Wine Enthusiast

...spicy and tart, with bright fruit flavors of pie cherry accented with lemon rind. The finish is drying and thins out quickly, leaving hints of peat moss and dried earth.

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.
