Upon the palate, the wine unfolds in layers of complexity: black cherry richness interwoven with savory nuances, accented by hints of candied ginger. Its weighty presence is met with finesse, as fine-grained tannins embrace its structured form, guiding towards a finish that lingers with notes of cola, anise, and a lingering floral sweetness, carried on the gentle current of well-integrated acidity.
Within this great growing region, they chose a small outcropping of hills within the broad, flat valley, banking that its rocky, iron-tinged soils would help drain Oregon’s abundant rainfall and that the interior hillsides would protect vineyards from harsh Pacific weather while providing a kaleidoscope of microclimates. The hope wasn’t merely to produce generically good Pinot Noir, but to make world-class wines with a unique identity. Those hopes have been born out.
What is today delineated as the Dundee Hills AVA is now celebrated not only as Oregon’s signature Pinot Noir zone but as the source of some of America’s finest wines.
