Cardwell Hill Cellars
Along the southernmost slope of Cardwell Hill, the vineyard encompasses a total of 57 acres. Thirty six acres are now planted with Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris Vines. Ninety percent of the plantings are Pinot Noir.
The region’s rainfall, which approaches an average of 40 inches per year, creates a natural supply of water that seeps deep into the ground at the higher elevations and then slowly percolates down the slopes throughout the summer months. Taking advantage of this natural flow of subterranean moisture, Cardwell Hill Cellars utilizes a “dry farming” approach.

Earthy bodied pinot noir with hints of cherry, tabacco, and spice. A good pinot for grilling your beef of choice on a chilly day. Read More

Snoothrank:
A great pinot for the price - I found this gem at Costco for $16! - a wonderful nose of floral and earth, reminds me of a French burgundy more than any other US pinot I have had. Certainly this wine says "Terroir". Medium bodied with layers of character of multiple berries, tobbaco, toast, spice, and mineral earth. I will buy more and see how it... Read More

Cardwell Hill Cellars Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Rosé 2007
Snoothrank:
Another winner from Cardwell Hill. The 2007 doesn't pack as much of a fruit punch as the 2006, but make no mistake, this is full bodied Pinot Noir. This would pair well with salmon but I prefer it with a nice ribeye steak. Just opening the bottle fills the air with scents with dark berries and Oregon Wine Country air. On the palate there are...

Snoothrank:
An excellent wine from a challenging Oregon vintage. Fortunately, due to Cardwell Hill's specific location within Oregon, they were mostly unaffected by the late season rains. The grapes also benefited from hang time that extended into October. This vintage is a bit more subtle and has more finesse than the 2006. It is still on the fuller si... Read More

Fruit-forward Pinot Noir. Missing the earthiness of many northern Willamettte Valley Pinots. Nice finish. Interested in seeing how it cellars. Read More
