Stoller Family Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2017
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. Sourced from numerous sites across the Willamette, this is ripe and generous, with mustard seed, raspberry, perfumed fine spices, dried florals. This is a lovely overview of Willamette in all its red fruited, herb-kissed, generous, acidity flecked glory. There's a flush of warmth around the finish. Great to see Stoller, one of Willamette's icons, on this market.Tasted: 11 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $36.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
