Anderson Family Vineyard | Oregon

Pinot 6-Pack

This small family-owned vineyard in the Dundee Hills may be home to the steepest vineyard slopes in all of Oregon. The phenolic ripeness, which reached very low sugars, has resulted in a wine of Old World balance and depth with plenty of Oregon signature fresh fruit and minerality. Aromatics of red and blue berry fruits mingle with dried violets, forest floor and fresh mint. The palate offers so much verve and energy yet balances it with an umami-driven complexity. Flavours of bright early-season blackberry and turned earth, as well as flint, clove and cola lead into a finish marked by elegance and finesse.

In a ripe, opulent vintage across the Willamette Valley, this Pinot from high in the Dundee Hills expresses those bolder fruit elements while still clinging to the elegance of the site. Fruit drives the aromatics as red raspberry and ripe strawberries mingle with crushed stone and a touch of leather. The palate rounds out with red and black berries ripe in the August sun, sumac notes, black tea, and a finish with tingly spices led by white pepper.

This small family parcel on an unbelievably steep slope produces wines of elegance yet concentration, and this 2017 vintage exemplifies that. The aromatics of violets turned earth and crushed blackberries. The palate is intense, with juicy blackberry, black plum and clove wrapped around a core of earth minerality. Sous bois, soy-driven umami and smoked sea salt, drive this complex Pinot Noir towards a very long finish.

A heady and concentrated Pinot Noir from the steep Dundee Hills plot of Anderson Family Vineyards. Savory elements of pine sap and dried herbs frame aromas of clove, crushed violets and red plums. The palate is textured, with elegance buoying concentrated fruits. Red and blue bramble fruits play well with notes of evergreen tips, pomegranate and dark, bright blackberry flavors, finishing with savory spice.
