The winery says:
This wine represents what we feel is a pure expression of what makes the Dundee Hills unique; a selection of distinct blocks within the Stoller Family Estate that showcase the classic and memorable Pinot Noir this site can produce. Dried Rainier cherry, dark chocolate and flint on the nose. The palate bursts with splashes of blueberry, citrus rind and plush tannin, ending in a seamless descent of cherry tart and baking spice. Share this wine on a Thursday evening to cheers the little wins in life. Drink now through 2030.
And the Wine Spectator agrees, rating it outstanding – as well as equal to or even better than many famous Oregon Pinots at three times or more its price, and saying:
Fragrant and elegantly structured, with fresh violet, raspberry and orange peel accents that glide agilely toward refined tannins.
Wine writer David Lawrason liked it even more:
Here's a very elegant, delicious and refined pinot with classy and pretty aromas of fresh sour cherry/strawberry, florals, herbs fine cedar and spice - all nicely inlaid and integrated. It is medium weight, fresh yet poised with fine tannin. The length is excellent, with a sense of ferrous minerality on the finish.
