Review:

2009 Wine Spectator - 91 points - Light and tangy, delivering a juicy hit of raspberry, vanilla, cream and spice flavors that dance with refinement through the finish. Drink now through 2017. 263 cases made. - H.S.

2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

2008 Wine Spectator - 92 points - This one sneaks up on you. It starts out silky, with a sour cherry edge to the smooth berry and spice flavors, then gets fleshier as the flavors deepen and linger impressively. Drink now through 2018. 441 cases made." - H.S.

This wine has a remarkably huge bouquet that invites a closer inspection. There is a strong presence of stone fruit, specifically black cherry and plum. This is followed by black raspberry and a hint of vanilla. The wine is well balanced and has an elegant taste that will linger on the palate for several minutes. This wine can be distinguished by its beautiful dark red color. This wine pairs beautifully with salmon, pheasant, duck, venison and lean pork. - the winery

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.
