2003 vintage notes: Forbes Magazine named this wine one of the "25 Great American Wines" in Sept 2005, and said: "This is a super wine for the money, offering the perfect balance between vibrant fruit and good, soft tannins. It also shows tantalizing hints of smoky earthy flavors that will only intensify with time. In fact, this is a wine for keeping, five years at least."

Burghound rating 90 points: "This is slightly riper than the Puit Sec with a pretty, subtly spicy nose that also displays a very deft touch of wood followed by round, rich, full and sweet flavors that possess a more forward character yet there is clearly enough stuffing here to permit extended aging. I quite like the overall balance though there is a bit of warmth on the impressively long finish. 90/2008+


Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

We at Avalon Wine were impressed with this wine for its richness and layered complexity. We didn't find any evidence of heat in this vibrant, happy-making wine. It continues to dance in my memory, a wine of top quality at a lower price than most comparable Oregon Pinots.
