2010 Thomas Gerrie Wines Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
104 cases, $25. Native yeast fermentation, 100% whole cluster, aged a minimum of 17 months in French oak. Unfined and unfiltered. · Moderately light reddish color in the glass. Attractive scent of red cherry pie glaze, baking spice, toast and sandalwood. Lighter in weight than the 2009 version, but equally pleasurable, showing less whole cluster influence, and brighter acidity. Flavors of crisp red cherries and berries and spice backed by suave tannins. Delicate, even feminine in character, but offers a tasteful, seamless drinking experience. Score: 90.

2009 Thomas Gerrie Wines Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
160 cases, $25. Average Brix at harvest 23.3ยบ. Native yeast fermentation, 100% whole cluster. Aged 18-20 months on lees in French oak. Unfined and unfiltered. · Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Nicely appointed nose offering aromas of warm raspberries, blueberries, spice, oak and floral highlights. Tasty core of dark cherry, and dark red berry fruits with a subtle savory herbal undertone. Medium bodied with balanced tannins, taking on more interest and intensity in the glass over time. The wine possesses good tension and finishing intensity. Should improve over time in bottle. Score: 90. Reviewed September 5, 2013 ARTICLE »
