Wine Advocate 91 Points

Review:

2009 Wine Advocate - 91 points - It exhibits more of an earthy terroir character as well as more structure than the Willamette Valley cuvee. - Jay Miller

The Benton-Lane First Class Pinot noir is their highest level "reserve" bottling.

2008 Wine Spectator - 91 points - Light and open-textured, a delicate style that offers a hint of caramel weaving through cherry and raspberry fruit, lingering enticingly under a veil of fine tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2018." - H.S.

"A deep ruby colored wine, the Benton Lane First Class Pinot noir exhibits classic aromas of cherry and blackberries, with complex underlying scents of plum, truffle, anise, cedar, and forest floor. Very ripe, fine tannins and balanced acidity create a rich, velvety texture that leads into an extremely long finish." the winemaker
