In the October 2011 issue of the Wine Advocate, reviewer Jay Miller had some very nice things to say about our 2009 Pinot Noirs. Among other things, he referred to the 2009 Dundee Hills Cuvée as, “a prototype of what could optimally be achieved in this vintage.” That wine was rated at 94 points, as were three other wines: Sandra Adele, Abbey Ridge and Le Pavillon. Our Charlie’s Vineyard bottling was rated at 93 points, our “Nuages” bottling from the Chehalem Mountains received 89 points, and he rated our basic Willamette Valley cuvée at 90 points.
