2010 Winderlea Winderlea Vineyard Dundee Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.2% alc., $54. Formerly
the Goldschmidt Vineyard. 20 acres planted in 1974 in Jory soils. Ideal southwestern exposure.
·
Moderate
reddish-purple color in the glass. An aristocratic wine with upscale aromas of well-ripened black cherries and
black raspberries. The intensely fruity palate features earth-kissed dark cherries, raspberries, plum and purple
grapes. A citrus-infused acidity brings lift and vibrancy to the wine. Quite enjoyable now, but has the structure
and balance to indicate it will benefit from further cellaring. Very good.

2010 Winderlea Winderlea Legacy Dundee Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.2% alc., $75. This wine highlights the favorite
characteristics of the estate vineyard.
·
Light reddish color in the glass.
The nose offers a terrific blast of crushed cherry perfume with a hint of
spice. Delicious essence of ripe, dark red cherries with a sidecar of
raspberries and pomegranates. A citrus-laden underbelly brings the
wine to life. Lacy tannins, well-integrated oak and an appealing elegance
completes the picture. Like red lingerie, sure to attract attention.

2008 Winderlea Vineyard & Winery Winderlea Vineyard Dundee Hills Oregon Pinot Noir
13.3% alc., $53.
From a 20-acre estate vineyard planted in 1974 (formerly Goldschmidt Vineyard). 480 foot elevation,
southwest exposure, Jory soils.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple in the glass. Shy dark red fruit aromas with
hints of baking spice, dried herbs and oak. Delicate flavors of red cherries, cranberries and red currants
finishing with a hint of oak, green herbs, spice and grapefruit peel. A bit shallow on the mid palate and finish,
leaving you wanting more. Soft and silky in the mouth with a lively grip of acidity. Picks up some charm over
time in the glass. Still holding its own two days later from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Tasted
twice with consistent results. Good (+).
