SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2020
Plump, with easygoing raspberry and black cherry flavors, accented by brooding cinnamon and orange-tinged tea notes. Finishes with lively tannins. Drink now through 2025. 25,400 cases made. (Tim Fish)
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Aug 2020
Brilliant ruby-red. Deep-pitched cherry and red berry preserve, cola and a hint of pungent flowers on the nose. Sweet, broad and fleshy on entry, offering raspberry and cherry preserve flavors that firm up on the back half. Shows very good depth and finishes long and smooth, with rounded tannins and a lingering suggestion of licorice. There are more than 300,000 bottles of this to go around. 15% new oak.

Where It's From

Appellation / Willamette Valley

View more wines from Willamette Valley

Oregon's Willamette Valley is the most-heralded wine region in the state, and home to some of the best Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris produced anywhere, aided in part by the especially cool growing season. The region is divided into two sub-regions, the North Willamette and South Willamette, and is named for the river of the same name which flows past the city of Portland.

Region / Oregon

Oregon didn't burst onto the wine scene until the 1980s, but it has since carved out a name for itself as a world-class region for cooler weather wines like Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It's most famous for the former, with many critically-acclaimed Pinot Noirs originating in the region. The Willamette Valley is Oregon's most famous and most productive region. Other notable regions include the Rogue Valley, Walla Walla, and Columbia Valley.

Country / United States

The United States now ranks fourth in the world in wine production behind, France, Italy, and Spain. While about 90% of that wine is produced in California, other states like Oregon, New York, and Washington are establishing themselves as prime spots for wine production, as well. Just about any variety of wine can be found in production somewhere in the United States.

The aromas bring notes of raspberries and cream, herb, peppermint, black cherry and whiffs of mesquite smoke. The palate is flavorful, with medium-bodied peppermint, satsuma and cherry notes. There’s a lot of value to be had. (Sean P. Sullivan)

Roland Green includes an older plot of own-rooted vines adjacent a young block on heat-tolerant rootstocks. It yielded a wine of admirable tension and breadth in 2018. You can taste the stalwart old-vine poise in the wine today, turned soil and tanbark, blood and cherries, along with youthful savory notes of violets, rose petals, bramble and star anise. It is, in a word, complex. The flavors are luxurious, the savor tugging at the fruit with a gentle insistence, with a cherry-skin concentration to the texture that’s wildly appealing. Cellar to watch it evolve.

Among the half dozen 2018 Pinots from Eyrie this is the tightest and least immediately expressive, which suggests decanting and/or aggressive aeration prior to early drinking. It grudgingly reveals strawberry and black cherry fruit with a spine of iron. The compact flavors and inner rigidity suggest that this should be cellared and could easily improve for a decade or longer. Drink 2026 to 2035.

This is a blend of three vineyards and has a very polished nose of ripe red cherry and spice with assertive oak in play, like modern Burgundy. The texture is exceptional and delivers soft, suave and fine tannins that carry bright red and darker-cherry flavors. Really impressive. Drink or hold.

Offers compelling raspberry and fresh violet aromas that open to tightly focused cherry, bay leaf and stony mineral accents, finishing with snappy tannins. Drink now through 2030. 270 cases made. (Tim Fish)

Aromas of flowers, stems and ripe and dried strawberries. Lavender, too. Medium to full body. Firm and tight structure with black fruit and a flavorful finish. So long and seamless. Needs time to open and give you what it has. Old-vine wine from almost 50-year-old heirloom clones. Sustainable. Try after 2026.

This reserve pulls from the estate’s Aurora, Abetina, Avellana and Madrona vineyards. Tart cranberry, pomegranate and raspberry fruits combine here. It’s young and juicy and spicy with blood-orange acidity. Definitely built to age, this may be enjoyed now and over the next decade. (Paul Gregutt)

A broad-shouldered style but refined and polished, with deep blueberry and raspberry flavors laced with stony minerals, black tea and dusky spice. Builds tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2028. 1,819 cases made. (Tim Fish)

Graceful in its complexity and elegantly expressive, offering lithe raspberry and cherry flavors that are laced with a hint of crushed stone and black tea that build tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2029. 650 cases made. (Tim Fish)

For this cuvée the grapes were fermented with wild yeast in both stainless and concrete. Lovely aromatics bring a pleasing plummy note, lightly kissed with toast and cocoa. The firm dark fruit flavors come with a streak of espresso and lead into slightly grainy, textural tannins. It trails away with a hint of lemony herb.

Fruit for this wine comes from five different blocks at the winery’s estate vineyard. Certified organic and made with biodynamic grapes, the aromas are redolent with fruit, with notes of apple, pear, star fruit and whiffs of pineapple. The palate is medium weight and bursting with fruit flavors. Lively acid keeps it all in focus. It’s flat-out delicious. (Sean P. Sullivan)
JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, June 2, 2022
An attractive nose of lemon, chamomile and thyme. Medium-bodied with zippy acidity. Green apple and white tea on the palate. Very bright. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now. Screw cap.
WS9090 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 06/22
A gris with bones, this wine’s scent of lemon and lime has a vinous background, as if a bit of bark tea got steeped in it. it’s savory and fruit-driven at once, with a roundness to the texture hemmed in by a pleasing phenolic bite.
