2012 Crowley Entre Nous Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.6% alc., $27.
·
Moderate reddish purple
color in the glass. Lovely play between aromas of black cherry, sous-bois and oak. Plenty of lush
black cherry and purple berry flavor in a fruit-driven wine with noticeable oak overlay. Fine tannins
make for easy drinking. The finish offers a charge of rich and sweet plum fruit that has modest
length.
Score: 89.

2010 Crowley Entre Nous Dundee Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.0% alc., 225 cases, $32. The
winery’s flagship blend of selected barrels. 60% LaColina Vineyard and 40% Tuckwilla Vineyard, both located
in the Dundee Hills. Aged 19 months in neutral oak.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple color in the glass.
Aromas of oak-kissed black cherries, fresh herbs and wet earth. Very polished with a tasty, sweet cherry core
and an earthy, herbal undertone. Very delicate, with a peppery note on the silky finish. Good.

2006 Crowley Entre Nous Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.4% alc., 150 cases, $27 (available
from Storyteller Wine Company (www.storytellerwine.com) for $24 a six pack). Proprietor and
winemaker Tyson Crowley is a New York transplant who spent 12 years learning his trade at Erath
Vineyards, Cameron Winery, J.K. Carriere, Archery Summit and Brick House. 75% Dundee Hills
fruit from La Colina Vineyard (Wädenswil) and 25% Ribbon Ridge fruit (Pommard). Aged 18
months in 50% new French oak. Second vintage of Pinot Noir for this producer.
·
Prominent scent of
black raspberries with a nice touch of smoky oak. Dark fruited and full-bodied with a hint of dark
chocolate and charcoal. The darker side of Pinot Noir, almost Syrah-like, but never crosses the line. Wellcrafted
and typical of many Pinot Noirs from the 2006 vintage in Oregon. You can almost make a meal out of
this one.
