Illahe Pinot noir Estate 08

Highly recommended by Avalon Wine

A rich and fresh cherry bouquet leads into so much goodness. Raspberries and cherries, spice box, and a satin mouthfeel make this a super value.

Illahe is on a roll, utilizing fantastic grapes from owner/grower Lowell Ford.

2006 tasting Notes

An Avalon Wine Club January 2008 selection.

"Folks at Illahe Vineyards in Dallas have been growing grapes for 25 years but have begun to make and bottle their own. Illahe 2006 Pinot Noir is a soft, lush mouthful of dark cherry fruit and silky texture, suitable for sipping or supping." –Lance Sparks, Eugene Weekly

"Winemakers Brad Ford and Michael Lundeen have crafted an elegant wine with aromas of violets and strawberries, as well as bright, smooth flavors." –Wine Press Northwest, 2006 Illahe Pinot Noir, Recommended
