2009 Winter’s Hill Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 1,200 cases, $25.
Exclusively from estate grapes. 100% de-stemmed, aged 12 months in oak. Offered in both
traditional bottle and recyclable 5 gallon keg format.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple color in the
glass. The nose holds your attention with an array of scents including dark red cherries and berries,
tea leaf, iron and oak. Quite pleasurable on the palate with a discretely concentrated core of darker
cherries and raspberries, with a hint of red licorice and oak. Plenty of minerality in this modest wine
with appealing restraint. Very good.

2009 Winter’s Hill Vineyard Dundee Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., pH 3.46, 800 cases, $34. Exclusively from grapes
grown in the Winter’s Hill Vineyard. 100% de-stemmed, aged 18
months in oak.
·
Moderate reddish-purple hue in the glass. More
deeply colored and richer in flavor than the Willamette Valley
bottling, featuring dark red and purple stone fruits and berries. Very
nice earthy underpinning. Well-matched tannins and a long, satisfying finish.
A complete, impeccably balanced wine. Very good (+).

2004 Winter’s Hill Vineyard Reserve
14.3% alc., 155 cases, $50.
·
This wine has an extraordinary nose of cherries, cola, spice and chocolate leading to a
complex depth of flavors of rich red cherries, Coke, and baking spice. There is an underlying earthiness
that adds to the appeal. What really wows is the caressing texture of silk and satin. The lovely spiced
cherry back end lasts an eternity. This sensual pleasure is everything you could hope for in a Oregon Pinot
Noir.
