This is a barrel selection combining the best lots from all three estate vineyards. Refined, pungent, spicy and persistent, it opens with bright raspberry and cherry fruit, then lays on layers of anise, coconut, vanilla, caramel and a whiff of cannabis herb. It's long and concentrated, with good aging potential.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Pinot Noir Estates Reserve spent 16 months in barrel, around 25 selected in this vintage. There is a pleasant chalkiness on the nose that pierces the red cherry and strawberry fruit, although I discerned a little more precision apropos the Ribbon Ridge 2013. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe red cherry and strawberry fruit, candied orange peel and blood orange, leading to an almost sorbet-like finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. This will be a very seductive Pinot Noir that has the substance to last for 10-15 years.

Home of some of the planet’s most amazingly elegant and expressive Pinot noir, the Willamette Valley is a pastoral, mixed landscape of green, bucolic rolling hills, dramatic forestlands and small, independent, friendly wine growers. As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. While the valley claims a cool, continental climate, and is heavily influenced by the cold, moist winds of the Pacific Ocean, its warm and dry summers allow for the steady, even ripening of Pinot noir.
The potential of Willamette Valley Pinot noir continues to attract the investment of serious growers and winemakers both locally and from abroad, as naturally the finished wines bring accolades from professionals and enthusiasts. With a range of styles from delicate dried cherry, raspberry and hibiscus to stronger notes of truffle, mocha, plum and spice, a fine Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a perfect expression of both character and grace.
