2009 Hyland Estates McMinnville Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc.,
pH 3.60, TA 0.58, $35. Aged in 10% new French oak from multiple coopers.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple color in the glass. Very shy upon opening and
much more aromatically pleasing the following day from a previously opened
and re-corked bottle showing bright Bing cherry and cranberry fruit. Moderately
rich, forward and alluring with smooth and supportive tannins and a velvety
mouth feel. The core of well-ripened cherries and berries is accented with notes
of cola, mocha and spice. The pedigree of the fruit really shines through in this
beauty. Very good.

2006 Soléna Hyland Vineyard McMinnville Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., pH 3.33,
$45. This 120-acre vineyard planted in 1970 and purchased by the Montalieus
in 2007. Soils are volcanic Jory and some Nekia. The vineyard contains both
own-rooted old-growth plantings and newer, grafted Pinot Noir clones. Grapes
were de-stemmed, 6-day cold soak, fermented in rotary barrels, aged 15 months
in 215 new French oak, unfined and unfiltered.
·
Very subdued aromatics with
delicate floral and berry scents. Impressive infusion of berry jam on the palate
with oak in the background. Smooth and harmonious with supple tannins,
snappy acidity and moderate persistence on the finish. A sophisticated wine of
great interest. Very good.
