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

"Bright, lithe and appealing for its invitingtexture and pretty red berry and guava flavors, the raspberry noteslingering on the refined finish. Drink now through 2012. 394 casesmade. HS"91 pointsThe Wine Spectator, December 15th, 2008"The 2006 Pinot Noir Meyer Vineyard exhibits a dollop of eucalyptus toaccompany fragrant spice box, cherry and rose petal aromas. On thepalate it is friendly and forward with good depth and length butwithout the structure for extended cellaring. Drink it over the nextfour years. Lemelson Vineyards is certified organic whichencompasses read more...six estate vineyards and 120 producing acres. All of thewines are fermented with native yeasts."89 pointsJay Miller, The Wine Advocate #179, Oct. 2008"Winemakers maintain that the Jory soils of Dundee Hillsproduce wines with more red and blue fruits, while Willakenzie soilsare believed to make wines with blue to black fruits. In some vintages,that tenet is clearly accurate. In 2006, the ripeness of the fruit atMeyer outweighed the dictate of the soil. The 2006 Meyer is one of thedarkest of our single vineyard wines. The nose combines dark fruit andspice with lifted floral aromatics that reveal subtle hints oflicorice, smoked tea, nutmeg and earth. The palate follows suit withblack cherry, blueberry, and lush blackberry flavors that we all agreereminds us of our strong desire for summer. The Jory soils perhapsspeak through on the finsh, with raspberry notes and a long, lovelytexture."Winery Notes    (hide)
