2009 J. Christopher Dundee Hills Cuvée Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., 450 cases, $35. A barrel selection from
several vineyards including Bella Vida, Baptista, Maresh,
Charlie’s, Abbey Ridge and Le Pavillon. Unfiltered.
·
Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Very shy
initially, but opens beautifully over time in the glass
revealing aromas of dark red and purple fruits with wood spice and subtle oak
vanillin. Earthy and charming, with a medium weight core of darker Bing cherry
and raspberry flavors perfectly accented by oak notes of spice and anise, and
displaying a fancy thrust of pure fruit on the finish. Light on its feet and very
accommodating. A step up over the Willamette Valley bottling.
