Articles mentioning wines produced from this vineyardWineries sourcing from this vineyardReviewed wines produced from this vineyard2013 Benton-Lane Estate Grown Willamette Valley Oregon Pinot Noir 13.4% alc., $25, screwcap. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Aromas of cherry, earthy flora and woodpile are underlain with a hint of matchstick reduction. Light to mid weight red cherry and berry fruits satisfy in this simple and forward wine that has a modest and grippy finish. The tannins are silky, making for easy enjoyment, but the mid palate is a bit shallow and the oak overlay sticks out. Score: 87. Reviewed July 9, 2016 WINERY » ARTICLE »
2012 Benton-Lane First Class Estate Grown Willamette Valley Oregon Pinot Noir 14.1% alc., $65, screwcap. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Deep aromas of black cherry, black raspberry and blueberry-pomegranate. Nicely endowed with luscious, ultra ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors accented with a hint of bourbon and spice. This wine packs plenty of power but is still refined in character, with a balancing vibrancy due to crisp acidity. The cleansing and intensely fruited finish leaves behind a pleasing impression. Score: 91. Reviewed July 9, 2016 WINERY » ARTICLE »
