Daedalus Cellars Pinot noir Willamette Valley 06
Daedalus Cellars Pinot noir Willamette Valley 06 is Aron Hess's good value Pinot, releasing much later than most Oregon 2006 Pinot noirs and benefiting from the time in the cellar.
The wine is a blend of Seven Springs, Battlecreek, Carabella, Eola Hills, Murto, Saikonnen & Maresh vineyards. Lush, jammy fruit on the attack with elegant tannins and balanced acidity (1330 cases produced). The Pinot Noirs are typical of the vintage in that they’re very approachable already with lots of sweet fruit on the attack. They’re also still typical of Aron with elegant tannins and well balanced acidity (not an easy thing to accomplish in 2006). - The Winery

2004 Vintage tasting Notes
BEST BUY - Outstanding quality at this price, scents of sandalwood, red raspberry, red and black cherry, and warm pie spice. Flavors are hugely expressive red raspberry and cherry, black cherry, blackberry, black currant, and hints of white pepper. The wine gives the sense of opening and expanding in the mouth as it warms. A beautiful racy acidity and very finegrained tannins balanced the layers and layers of fruit flavors. Not much made, restaurants are going to snap this one up quickly. -jy 45% Momtazi Vineyard
A complex blend of several different vineyards and clones. It has old Pommard from Murto and Seven Springs Vineyards, Dijon clones from Momtazi Vineyard, and Wadenswil from Hawks View Vineyard. Partial whole-cluster fermentations yield a wine of sandalwood, minerals, dried herbs and cherries. - the winery
It should drink well on release with decanting, but will develop greater nuance and richness over the next seven to eight years.
