“These are in fact the original Pinot Noir vines planted in the Willamette Valley, back in the mid‐1960s.
An explosion of sensory detail quickly opens up the wine, with pollen, sandalwood, sassafras, and coffee
grounds. Those flavors wrap around blackberry, licorice, and cola, continuing to expand and explore the
far reaches of the palate. Phylloxera may soon eliminate these vines, so don’t wait to acquire a bit of
history in a bottle.” 95pts Editors’ Choice Wine Enthusiast
