2008 Tyee Estate Barrel Select Pinot Noir

 

All-American First Team, Top 11 Oregon Pinots of 2011 from the Prince of Pinot, "The perfectly ripened fruit has a dark red profile, the dry tannins and crisp acidity frame the fruit beautifully, and the silky finish makes an lasting impression. A perfect example that supports the argument for the superiority of old vine Pinot Noir. The wine was still great the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, but I couldn’t say beyond this as we eagerly finished the bottle. An exceptional wine and a vin de garde for Oregon in 2008." - www.princeofpinot.com

 

Double Gold Medal Winner - Oregon Wine Awards
