Previous Vintage Tasting Notes

From the winery: "Our 2004 Willamette Valley blend utilizes fruit from Bella Vida (66%), Murto (11%), and Belle Pente Estate (23%) Vineyards. With the bulk of the fruit coming from vineyards in the Dundee Hills, this wine shows plenty of bright, fresh red fruit. To enable us to capture this in the bottle, we utilized a moderate oak treatment (25% new, with the balance spread equally among 1 to 5 year old barrels) and bottled a little earlier than normal (December vs February). The result is a classic lighter style Willamette Valley Pinot Noir which expresses the best characteristics of the vintage. Around 25% of the production of this wine is allocated to restaurants and wine merchants in New York, where it caused a "feeding frenzy" when it was released there last month. This wine offers terrific "price/performance" for enjoyment now and over the next few years."
