2010 Lundeen Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.0% alc., 100 cases, $30. From Genius Loci Wines.
Sourced from Ana Vineyard in the Dundee Hills (40%) and Illahe Vineyards in the Willamette Valley (60%).
Aged 18 months in 25% new French oak barrels.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple color in the glass. A little
reduction upon opening blows off revealing aromas of red cherries, raspberries, cranberries and a hint of
tobacco oak. Light red fruits are featured with oak in the background. Gentle tannins and lively acidity make
for easy drinking. Decent.

2009 Evesham Wood Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.0% alc.,
1,650 cases, $14.79 (full retail $18). Produced from sustainably
grown grapes in non-irrigated vineyards (Illahe, Eola Springs, Hidden
Rocks and Mahonia). Aged 11 months in 10% new French oak
barrels. Unfiltered.
·
Light in color with a reddish hue. Good aroma
volume of strawberries, cherries, sandalwood and dried red rose
petals. Tasty core of red berries, red cherries and red plums with a respectable
mid palate attack. Elegantly styled and forward drinking with a cherry-filled and
refreshing finish. Typical reserved but charming Evesham Wood style. Very
good and a steal at this price. (The 2010 vintage of this wine has been released)
