2017 SUNU
The profoundly delicate Pinot Noir finds a rare and superlative home in the northern hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. This is the former floor of the Pacific Ocean, holding marine sediment deposited over millennia amongst a tangled maze of creases and folds in the Earth. The vines planted here exhibit a diverse range of intense expressions…Pinot Noir that embodies the essence of that magical marriage of site and grape which us back to explore it again and again.
I suspect the 2017 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley will be a terrific value and it certainly shows the quality present in all these new releases. Spice, garrigue, forest floor, and earth black cherry and blackberry fruits give way to a medium-bodied Pinot Noir that has a layered, rounded texture, plenty of freshness and elegance, and a great finish." 93 pts, Jeb Dunnuck
