Colene Clemens Vineyards
Estate Dopp Creek Pinot Noir
Chehalem Mountains, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Just tried ‘18, again, wow, very nice! Located in the western end of Dopp Road where the Chehalem Mountains converge with Ribbon Ridge, medium Ruby with aromas of red fruits and alluring spice. On the palate ripe raspberry and wild cherry with pepper, toasty spice and earthy notes. Young with fine integrated tannins, well defined, elegant with underlying richness, long finish ending with oaky notes. Nice value! Just love this wine, will age well!! Great value!

Dried cherries almost a briny earthy. More earthy than fruity. Spice like cardamom flavors cherry strawberries nice acid balance lots of finish and full.

Sep 1st, 2023A medium purple with thin edges. From minute one, it’s all dark red fruit everywhere you look. Cherries and pomegranates are dominant at first but then you get a nice wallop of dried strawberries. Of course there’s an earthy element to the nose with dust and green shrubbery. You get a bit of lovely olive just as a bonus.
Oregon Pinot is probably my first real wine love and I can never ever forget her. Still so sexy, down to earth, and lovable. Wifey material. Soft and smooth with some really pleasing acidity and structure. Medium bodied with a nice mix of Pinot elegance and rusticity. Rhubarb, cherries, and strawberry on the palate with more earth and pepper. Terrific stuff. An absolute steal of a wine.

An outstanding Pinot Noir. Rich raspberry flavors and a smooth finish.
