The Boedecker Cellars team joined forces in 2003
to follow their dream - of crafting their own wines.
Nurtured by helpful fellow winemakers and inspired
by the food friendly wines of Burgundy, Athena and
Stewart's second vintage (2004) is special. Pappas Wines is their second label.
Two Pinots
were made in 2004 by blending grapes from several
different vineyards. The "Athena" Pinot noir 04 shows the lush, soft side of the grape. The wine is ready to drink, full bodied, and juicy. The "Stewart" Pinot
noir is more restrained, with nuanced, silky textures,
red cherry and spice flavors, and a French, food
friendly style.
Boedecker's fledging winemakers
produced several single vineyard Pinots, including
bottlings from Shea and Momtazi Vineyards. Putting
your skills up for comparison to the best by producing
wine fom such highly regarded vineyards is gutsy,
and the Boedecker wines make the grade.
Watch this winery! Athena andStewart's ability
to find great fruit and make exceptional wines from
it is clearly one of their strong points. Their enthusiasm
and skills are allowing them to stand out as future
stars of the Oregon wine world. You heard it here
first.
