2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

Wine Spectator 91 points

"Silky and refined, this plays out its flavors of red cherry, wild berry and guava on a graceful frame, with a hint of caramel, remaining soft and elegant through the finish. Drink now through 2014." - H.S.

A softer, smoother 2008 Pinot noir filled with charming scents and flavors of dark cherries, blueberries, clove and cardamom. The winery and estate vineyard is located in the foothills of Oregon's Coast Range, and the coolness of the site makes for well-balanced Pinots.

Cardwell Hill Cellars reached international fame when their 2006 Estate Pinot was selected for Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2008. They are located a stone's throw from Avalon, just outside of Corvallis, Oregon.
