2010 Vintage Tasting Notes

SF Chronicle Recommended 2010 Pinot: David O'Reilly's knack for crafting easy-to-please wines continues. This time the Kilmore taps two vineyards (Lenne and Merriman) aged in a mix of mostly older oak, for a lyrical, lush effort. Foresty underbrush, violets and a strong mineral component mix with dusky, heady fruit. A great example of the darker-hued flavors essential to the Oregon palette.- the Chronicle

Rumor has it the Owen Roe Kilmore 2010 Pinot noir may get a great writeup in Wine Spectator.

There are hints already - here's what Wine Spectator's Harvey Steiman said about the wine when he visited Owen Roe: "The 2010s I tasted included a supple, velvety Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton (Kilmore) with gorgeous currant and red berry flavors."

The Kilmore has all of Owen Roe's trademark style, balancing David's love of full flavored ripe fruit with the restraint and berry-driven flavors of Oregon Pinot noir.

The nose is positively redolent of red raspberries, soft vanilla toast and a hint of roses. Think of fresh raspberries and blackberries picked off the vine on a hot summer day. There's a silky smooth texture and a subtle backbone that are essential characteristics of classic Pinot noir.
