Stoller Family Estate Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2017
Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesThe Stoller family established their Willamette property in 1943, and the vineyard 50 years later. Over the last 25 years, they have transformed the 400-acre property into the largest contiguous vineyard in Oregon’s Dundee Hills, and done it all sustainably, becoming the first winery in the world to receive LEED Gold certification along the way. From blocks across their Dundee Hills estate, this is a lovely summary of the AVA: tight, lifted, perfumed and red fruited, with a fine interwoven of pixellated acidity and spicing. Tannins are long and lightly sticky, well supporting the fruit. There's a buzz of minerality that sweeps across the cinnamon warming finish. A mix of clones from their Dundee Hills property, this was partially native fermented and aged in mostly neutral French oak for a year. Drinking beautifully now.Tasted: 11 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $50.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
