Harper Voit Wines
Shea Wine Cellars winemaker and vineyard manager Drew Voit has launched his private label, producing small lots of Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc. The wines are sold through a mailing list. Articles About Harper Voit WinesReviewed Wines2009 Harper Voit Strandline Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 13.5% alc., $35. From Drew Voit, former winemaker at Shea Wine Cellars (Declan Wine Co. in Newberg). · Moderately dark reddish-purple color in the glass. A bit of reduction upon opening which resolves. Aromas of dark berries, plums, wood spice and rose petals. Full-bodied and rich with a plethora of darker fruits in a California style. Substantial tannins make for tough sledding and a strange oiled wood note in the background probably from oak spoils the experience for me. Not what I would expect from Drew who is an excellent winemaker so I will reserve judgement on this one bottle. Reviewed November 24, 2012 ARTICLE »
