The finished wine reflects the character of the vintage, with intense aromas of blackberry, herbes de Provence and wet flagstone. The flavors of coffee and pure blackberry are lifted by vibrant acidity and culminate in a firm blanket of tannins. Definitely a wine for the ages, the 2007 Dierberg Vineyard ... more

Deceptively pretty; it smells like a June picnic basket, but on the palate it’s silky, gauzy, detailed and sleek, with tertiary notes of leaf-smoke and lavender. It’s significantly more youthful and frisky but also cornbread-y and lush. more

Cool weather in September delayed ripening, and the threat of rain was ever present as it had been in 2007. But unlike the previous vintage, when rain challenged the harvest late, the sun came out in October, the clouds dispersed and a late season warming trend hit the Dundee Hills. ... more

The personality of the 2009 Mineral Springs Ranch Pinot Noir is distinct and a reflection of a growing season that was generally cool with periods of heat and sunshine during mid-summer and again late in the season. This is the indelible signature recognizable in this wine’s expressive generosity; the primary ... more

The 2007 Mt Jefferson Cuvee is light ruby in color. It has a dusty and cinnamon-scented nose that is reminiscent of a village level Burgundy. It shows off the elegant style of the 2007 vintage with cran-raspberry and higher tone red-fruit notes on the palate. In typical Mt Jefferson style, ... more

The 2008 Alazan is fairly ripe. Almost Californian, in fact, although with a touch of the savory notes that I’ve come to learn are typical of Pinot grown in our vineyard. It definitely needs to be decanted to show its best. With a little air, black fruits come to the ... more

James Suckling
I rate wines using the 100-points scale. I have used this point system for close to 25 years. I still believe it is the simplest way to rate a wine, with its origins from grade school in the United States. A wine that I rate 90 points or more is outstanding (A), and worth buying. If I rate a wine 95 points or more (A+), it is a must buy.
