2009 Bethel Heights Estate Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir 750ml

Quick Overview

Black pepper, cloves, nutmeg, and anise open the bouquet, gradually giving way to raspberries, royal anne cherries, and orange zest. The palate opens with pure black cherries framed by bright, juicy acidity and fine grain tannins. The wines of 2009 are expressing their fruit early, but we believe this wine has the structure and acidity to age gracefully for 10-15 years.

2009 Bethel Heights Estate Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir ENLARGE

2009 Bethel Heights Estate Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir 750ml

Bethel Heights is one of the oldest vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills, a hill chain of volcanic origin in the center of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The “Black Label” Estate Grown Pinot Noir blends fruit from all the different sections of the 70-acre estate, with its backbone of own-rooted Wädenswil and Pommard clones planted in 1977 and 1979, enhanced by the later plantings of the best new Dijon clones available after 1988.

WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 92

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Light in texture and weight, but shows real presence with its strawberry and cherry fruit, with cinnamon and talcum overtones. Finishes with refinement and grace. Drink now through 2019.
