What to Expect

Oregon has only recently emerged as a source for premium wine and is winning fans over to their somewhat earthy style of Pinot Noir. With vineyards a bit cooler than most of California's, yet warmer still than Burgundy, Oregon's Pinot Noirs feature a synthesis of ripe fruit, ripe structure and transparency that draws on the strengths of both. The wines tend to have a touch of earthiness and a sense of transparency that many Pinots from California lack yet the fruit profile, full of dark berries, is decidedly warm-climate in nature.

Winemakers Notes

The grapes were harvested by hand from September 27-October 2, 2003. The 2003 Archery Summit Estate Pinot Noir is a blend of Pommard clones and Dijon clones 114 and 115, all grown on our south-facing Archery Summit Estate vineyard. Our vineyards are farmed organically, which ensures highest possible quality of the fruit. The 2003 vintage produced wines with rich intensity.

The grapes were hand-sorted and fermented with 30% whole clusters to showcase the ripe fruit. Prior to allowing fermentation to proceed, the fruit was cold-soaked for five to ten days to aid in the extraction read more...

Reviews

Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2006! Deep garnet in color this wine opens with intense and piquant aromas of blackberry, black caps, violets and vanilla. It is an explosion of red and black fruits on the palate enveloped in succulent, chewy tannins. In its richness and concentration this wine shows the imprints of the 2003 vintage. It is concentrated with penetrating floral and berry flavors and has a lasting finish. This wine will benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring.
