Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley

Alexana

Revana Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.

Lots of fresh red fruits on the nose with tobacco leaf, herbs, light oak, wild flowers, vegetables, light barnyard, mushrooms, spices and light earth.

Medium bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with red plums, fresh picked cherries, strawberries, spices, light wood, herbs, green tea, black pepper, earth and light dark chocolates.

Elegant finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Pinot Noir from Williamette Valley. Nicely balanced with nice complexity, albeit still very young.

This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is a good quality wine. Easy drinking and made in Burgundian style.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with some air time. The nose becomes more flowery after 45 minutes of airtime.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 8 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. Paired very nicely with the triple cream Brie cheese with wild mushrooms.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged for 10 months in (35% new) French Oak barrels.

13.4% alcohol by volume.

Lots of sun drenched orchard fruit on the nose, confirmed on the palate. Ripe pear and apple, some baking spices but not overpowering. Medium plus finish. I think the balance of the fruit and acidity is off; 14.1 percent abv; if it was 13-13.5 with a slightly less ripe fruit profile and more acid it would be better. — 6 months ago

I haven’t tasted this vintage. Normally very good, but may some time in the bottle to come together a little more. This must have just been bottled.

Thanks for the comment, they typically make this one to age 5-10 years if I remember correctly; will be interesting to revisit in a few years

One of the better DDOs I’ve opened in a long time. Purity is the word that pops to mind over and over again with this wine. Sings with bright red cherry fruit and has impeccable balance that you can’t poke holes in. — 7 years ago

Bergström Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

This wine has it all... has converted me to having faith in the potential of American Pinots. Nose is strong violets with undifferentiated fruit. But flavor bursts forth with a perfect blend of violets, tobacco, fruit and tannins. Great full body fills your mouth and makes a strong statement. Absolutely delicious!!!!!! — 8 years ago

9.4

A smoky blend of crushed raspberries, sage, cola and crushed stones creates a seductive bouquet as the 2019 Pinot Noir La Source comes to life in the glass. This is soft yet lifted in feel, with tart red and blue fruits that swirl throughout as violet inner florals resonate toward the close. The 2019 finishes perfumed and long with an air of lavender and a tart blackberry twang that lingers over a bed of well-rounded tannins. This is the first vintage in which Sashi Moorman was entirely happy with the structural balance achieved in the Pinot Noir La Source. I must admit, it's a compelling wine.

The Eyrie Vineyards

Dundee Hills Pinot Gris 2017

The Eyrie Vineyards, Pinot Gris, from the Dundee Hills of Oregon. Vintage 2017. ABV 12.5%.

Bright citrus and tart melon and cantaloupe notes with some salinity and wet stone influences. Very refreshing and youthful.

Easy to pair with food, we have paired it with roasted bok choy, aubergine, and brown jasmine rice. It goes nicely and doesn’t compete with the tamari and sesame flavors.

Antica Terra

Angelicall Pinot Noir Rosé 2019

Terrific rose of pinot noir from Maggie Harrison of Antica Terra. This is not your garden-variety rose: serious skin contact time coupled with her incredible wine-making abilities has produced a really substantive wine. Reminds me a bit of Manfred’s SQN roses (not surprising, I guess, since Maggie worked with Manfred for I believe a decade or so before striking out on her own with what I think is the best winery in the Willamette Valley). Do yourself a favor and try to snag some of this. Terrific juice. — 4 years ago

I am about as big a fan of this rosé as anyone. Regardless of price, I absolutely love it. I know you also enjoy Andremily (as do I)…have you tried their rosé? It’s bigger and more rich in style, akin to SQN rosés, more so than the Angelicall. But, I believe those three rosés belong in a category all to their own!

@Shay A, I have had thd Andremily (only bought 3 - should have gotten more, because these will age for a couple of years. Check out Paix sur Terre’s rose of mourvedre. Lighter style, but Ryan Pease is growing those mourvedre grapes specifically to make rose.

Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Wow, what a bouquet, showing crushed cherry and strawberry mixed with wild herbs, yellow florals and crushed stone. It continued to open more and more over time. On the palate I found youthfully lean textures with tart black cherry, bitter herbs, zesty acidity and savory mineral tones. The finish was long hinting at bitter herbs and tart cherries. — 7 years ago
