8.9

Cloudy unfiltered appearance showing a brick rim. Highly medicinal on the nose with fennel, licorice, menthol and tarragon.

A little hot being from this warmer vintage but not overbearing. A little soy sauce coming through with age.

Drink now, this wine will be on a downward slope from here. — 11 years ago

This is another Oregon Pinto Noir. The best state in the world for Pinot Noir I have concluded. This is Winderlea 2013 Pinot Noir from Dundee Hills Vineyards. The cork was pretty bad. The bouquet was much better after 30 minutes of decanting and aerating with my new Aervana electric wine aerator!!!!!!!!!!! I love it! I love the wine too. The bouquet is hot cherry pie fresh from the oven. Very simple. The color is a beautiful clear ruby red. The legs are long and thick, unlike most pinot noirs. The initial flavor explosion is red grapes and black cherries. There is a hint of green apple. This is a thick on the palate pinot. The finish is long and has a dry mineral like finish. At 12.8%, I am very impressed!!!!!!! — 10 years ago

Winderlea's 2008 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills Cuvée was blended specifically for ¡Salud!, a non-profit that provides mobile health care to migrant workers in the Willamette Valley. Aside from this, the wine itself has developed beautifully, with classic Oregon Pinot notes of red forest berries, underbrush and dried rose petals. The palate is offers savoriness punctuated by bright acidity and fine tannins—earth, blood, iron and black tea lend complexity to this outstanding Pinot Noir. Sample — 11 years ago
