2007 Broadley Vineyards Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $20 A blend of several
vineyards from a consistently well-regarded family owned winery producing 5,000 cases of
Pinot Noir annually. Located in Monroe, Oregon, about half way between Corvallis and
Eugene.
·
A middle weighted Pinot Noir offering slightly roasted and sweet dark berry fruits
accented by clove, oak, maple syrup and balsam. Lively acidity on the refreshing and dry
finish.

2005 Broadley Vineyards Shea Vineyard Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir
Family-owned Broadley Vineyards was established in 1982 in the hills west of
the town of Monroe. Today, founders Craig and Claudia Broadley are joined
by the second generation of Broadley winegrowers, son Morgan and his wife
Jessica. The 33-acre estate vineyard is planted to the classic Oregonian
clones, Pommard and Wädenswil. The winemaking style employs a high
percentage of whole cluster fermentation. Pinot Noir bottlings include a
Willamette Valley blend, an Estate, a Reserve, Marcile Lorraine (old vine
block), Claudia’s Choice (a distinctive old block of the vineyard), and Shea Vineyard.
·
This wine has
plenty of stuffing and features darker fruits, roasted meat, spice and smoke. The tannins are fine-grained.
An impressive effort by any standards.

2005 Broadley Vineyards Claudia’s Choice Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $40. A family-
owned and worked winery. This wine comes from a 7 acre distinct block of the estate vineyard.
·
Black cherries,
Asian 5 spice and pencil shavings make up an interesting nose. Slightly jammy and simple fruits with a
very healthy tannic backbone. I would lay this one down a few years.

2005 Broadley Shea Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $45. Broadley is a family-owned
winery in Monroe in the southern Willamette Valley whose first release was in 1988. Sourced
from old vines.
·
This wine showed more the redder fruit profile of this vineyard. Lightest in color and
structure of all of the Shea Vineyard wines, with a noticeable brisk acidity and citrus kick on the backend.
While the Auteur is more a sipping wine, this is more a table wine.
