2005 Estate Grown
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
This is the steal of the 2005 Bethel Heights Pinots.
Luscious and supple for a younger wine, a nice
dollop of sweet raspberry, black cherry and blueberry
is complemented by earth, nutmeg and cinnamon on
the finish. Beautifully focused and balanced,
the 2005 Estate Grown Pinot is an outstanding value
in Oregon wine. When I tasted it at the winery,
I HAD to have a bottle with dinner that night!
2005 Flat Block
I wrote two words at the end of my notes on this
wine: "purity" and "finish." The Flat Block, which
is 100% Pommard clone Pinot, features a lovely
core of cherry and raspberry, with strawberry and
dark cherry accents. The finish just sails...and
sails.
2005 Southeast Block
A bigger, darker Pinot with hints of pepper spice
that carry through from aroma to finish. Lots
of fresh blueberry and notes of blueberry syrup
mix with dark berry to provide a superb base note.
Bethel Heights' Southeast Block is 29 years old-some
of the oldest Pinot vines in Oregon.
2005 Casteel Reserve
The blockbuster Bethel Heights wine. Raspberry,
black cherry, currant and pie spice waft from the
glass. This is a wine of great depth, with a silky
mouthfeel and an expansive finish. It's hard to
believe there's 50% new oak-it's so well integrated.
2005 Seven Springs Vineyard
Loads of creamy red and black fruit-mostly black
cherry, darker raspberry, with whispers of blue
and black berry. At first the wine is focused
on the front of your palate but then the flavors
and finish begin to evolve. The Seven Springs
needs a little more time, but it's delicious.
2005 JusticeVineyard
Lush aromas of raspberry, pomegranate, dusty red
cherry. Round and supple with cherry- raspberry
flavors and a hint of mocha. Firm mid palate acidity
provides balance and length. Ripe fine-grained
tannins round out the wine.
