2010 Et Fille Palmer Creek Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir
13.3% alc., 175 cases, $42. The owners
live on the site and meticulously farm this vineyard.
·
Moderately deep reddish-purple color in the glass. Bright
and persistent aromas of fresh black raspberries, cherries, spice and vanilla cream. Wow! Juicy and crisp with
flavors echoing the nose. Appealing roundness with supple tannins, bright acidity, and a fruit-driven finish that
is soft and long. Impressive balance. Best wine ever from this vineyard for Et Fille. Very good (+).

2006 Et Fille Palmer Creek Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.1$ alc.,122 cases. $32. A 10-acre vineyard
planted in 1999 to clone 777.
·
The nose is alive with red cherry, ripe strawberry and allspice. Plenty of tangy
red berries are front and center with a touch of mushroom and forest floor. Light, elegant, feminine and simple,
but immensely satisfying, with silky tannins and a lively and refreshing finish. I am not a fan of single Dijon
clone wines, but this one is just fine. Jessica Mozeico says, “Like cruising down the road in a convertible on a
sunny afternoon - expansive, freeing and undemanding.”

2005 Et Fille Palmer Creek Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 100 cases, $32.
This 22-acre vineyard is located near Shea Vineyard and
planted to Pommard and Wädenswil clones. The wine is aged
for 10 months in 50% new French oak.
·
A Pinot of noticeable
heft with a deep and complex nose of black cherries, black berries,
roses, and vanillin that attracts your attention. The texture
is soft and pillowy and the finish of ripe cherries and raspberry
tinged with mocha lingers. There is good acid to support the
prodigious fruit. A rose and a Baby Ruth.
