winemaker's notes:

Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2007!

Erath produces Pinot Noir from six different sites in the Dundee Hills viticultural area. "Reserve" quality lots are chosen from the best wines from these sites and blended to make this Estate Selection cuvée. The iron-clad Jory soils predominate this growing area and give the wines their distinctive aroma and flavor profiles, and elegant, age-worthy structure. Fruit focused in their youth, Erath Estate Selection Pinots gain additional complexity and sophistication when cellared for three to eight years.

"Pie cherries with smoky and seductive herb garden aromas of sage and lavender. Cherry vanilla flavors with a hint of anise offer a sweet entry that leads to a satisfying even finish. Drink from 2007 through 2013."
- Gary Horner, Winemaker

Excellent with wild mushrooms, duck, roast beef, lamb or other red meats, chocolate, garlic and salmon.

 I would not buy this wine again
disappointed with this well-rated wine--found it thin and lacking any flavor nuances l--was even concerned initially that it was somewhat vinegary tasting.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
Green Wines
Wines that use sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic practices in the vineyard and/or winemaking process. We rely on a number of U.S. and International certifications to qualify wines "green."
