2008 Bethel Heights Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
SKU #500173
The aroma is defined by earth and forest floor, mushroom, moss, and damp earth. As the wine opens with air, these aromas give way to brambly raspberry and spice. The palate ranges from deep minerality and early bing cherries to orange zest and currant, but it is the taut core of acidity that drives this wine. We've rarely seen such concentration at these pH and alcohol levels at Bethel Heights, and it is a part of the puzzle of what makes 2008 such a special vintage. This wine will reward those who seek immediate gratification, and also those seeking a well-rounded cellar.

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.
