2009 Siltstone Guadalupe Vineyard Oregon Pinot Noir
13.9% alc., 230 cases, $30. Vineyard owners are Jim
Stonebridge and Kathleen Boeve and the vineyard is managed
by Joel Myers of Vinetenders whose family produces this wine.
·
Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Intense and very
appealing aromas of black cherries, black raspberries,
ollalieberries and dark chocolate. Soft, smooth and ambrosial, with
middleweight flavors of well-ripened dark cherry and berry fruits with
complimentary accents of Asian 5-spice, cinnamon and toasty oak. Balanced,
ripe tannins and a powerful, lasting finish complete the picture. I have been very
impressed by this wine over the past three vintages. It seems to fly under the radar, yet is deserving of a bigger
audience. Remarkably, the winery is still offering the 2007 and 2008 vintages of this superb wine. If you want a wine that typifies the Dundee Hills, this would be an excellent choice.

2007 Ken Wright Cellars Guadalupe Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $47. Sourced from a vineyard located in the southwestern end of the
Dundee Hills just north of Lafayette planted in 1989 in Willakenzie soils. Owned by
Jim Stonebridge and Kathleen Boeye and managed by Ken Wright Cellars.
·
The
nose has reluctant fruit aromas but pleasing notes of exotic spice and oak char. On
the palate the fruit remains in the background with a heavy tug of oak and herbal
flavor dominating. Tasted the next day from a previously opened and re-corked
bottle, the wine was much better, with the dark fruits advancing to the forefront and
the oak receding along with a smoother mouth feel. Wait at least 2 to 3 years on this one.
