-Dusky Goose Pinot noir Dundee Hills 2007 & 2008 Sampler
Two recent vintages of the incomparable Dusky Goose - the beautiful 2007, a stunner to drink now, with lots of cellaring potential as well, and the 2008, from the much lauded Oregon vintage - it's one of the highlights. Three bottles of each, great gift for friends and colleagues.
Dusky Goose Pinot noir 07
Balanced and beautiful. A rich and graceful perfume of raspberry, rose, cherry, spice box and raspberry tea introduces the superbly layered Dusky Goose 07.
Replete with sweet, succulent fruit, the palate fans out with dark dried cherry, raspberries and fresh cream, with hints of darker berries. Full and round, silky and ripe, the Dusky finishes with its classic truffle note, caramel, mixed berries and a touch of dried thyme.
The Dusky 07 has a long life ahead of it - our first bottle was open for five days and continued changing, staying fresh through the last sip. This is a highlight of the vintage. - Marcus
A beautiful Pinot noir. Bright, lively acidity focuses the red fruit-fresh strawberry, cherry, and a little pomegranate, opening to rich black cherry and vanilla, harmonizing with the wildness at the core you come to expect with the Dusky Goose and the Dundee Hills. The finish is complex, expansive, and integrates the lush fruit with spice and earthiness creating a juicy texture. A beautiful polished wine for sure. - the winery
