Product Information:

Winemaker's notes - The 2009 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is deep and vibrant, with brilliant color and excellent clarity. Aromatically, the wine is quite open, even opulent – a mix of velvety rose petals, violets and spices. On the palate, the texture is lush and mouth-coating, but well-balanced. Together, they provide definition and intensity, followed by refined, silky tannins. The finish is quite long, with beautiful cherry notes, reminding me of fresh cobbler in the peak of summer. While the ‘09 will age quite well, it is to my personal taste, delicious to drink today.


Wine Spectator Review:
Firm in texture, with a grip of tannins around generous red berry, tobacco and floral flavors, which persist into the lively, deftly balanced finish. Drink now through 2017.

Parker Review:
The 2009 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley has alluring notes of cedar, cinnamon, clove, raspberry, and cherry that inform the nose of a ripe, supple-textured, elegant, nicely proportioned wine that will provide enjoyment over the next 6-7 years.

Tanzer Review:
Bright red. High-pitched red berry and spice aromas are complicated by notes of candied rose, herbs and white pepper. Suave, silky and precise, offering sweet strawberry and raspberry flavors and a deeper note of bitter cherry. Nicely balanced and pure, with very good finishing clarity and length. There's something almost Chambolle-like here.
