2015 ArborBrook Vineyards Pinot Noir Terroir Anthology Tresori VineyardChehalem Mountains more |
2/29/2024 - jmcafee Likes this wine: NRThis is drinking very well right now, but has years to go. Very well balanced with bright cherry on the palate and good acidity, and refined tannins. The volcanic terroir is a stark contrast to the sedimentary soil of the estate vineyards. 777 clone (my favorite). My original end of drinking window of 2028 still stands, but it very possible to push to 2030. |

2/11/2024 - jmcafee Likes this wine: NRSimilar to my previous notes. The fruit has almost completely aged, with a hint of cherry left. Bright acidity is about the only thing left at this point, not objectionable, but past EOL. |

2/10/2024 - jmcafee Likes this wine: NRThe volcanic terroir shows here, in contrast to the sedimentary soils of the estate vineyards of Arborbrook. I think this is a 777 clone (don't quote me, though). Drinking very well right now with aged black cherry fruit, balanced acid and smooth tannins. Not much secondary flavors. 2028 will be the end of the drinking window. |

1/18/2024 - jmcafee Likes this wine: NRI echo my previous tasting note. This is a great vintage that is in a great spot of the drinking window. Beginning to fade, so consume by 2026. Well done, Dave. |

11/5/2023 - aChave Likes this wine: 91 points30-minute decant and consumed over 90 minutes. Darker, clear red color. Intense flavors of dried cherries, with nicely balanced acids and medium weight. Good length on the finish. Mouth-filling fruit with just a bit of syrup texture. Tannins are in the background, though still present and emerge further with air. Deep for a 2013. 91+ |

9/26/2023 - jmcafee wrote: NRShortly after the vintage was released I was impressed by the potential of this wine. Sadly, it currently falls off the mark. The fruit and acid are still there, but muted and compartmentalized, without any integration into more blended and complex palate. I don't think aging will help much, but you have nothing to lose waiting until 2025 to try another bottle. |

9/27/2022 - bear Likes this wine: 93 pointsSame as the last bottle, which I really liked a lot - but even better. This may be the best 2013 Oregon Pinot noir I’ve had. Should be good for another couple of years, not a big wine by any means but very flavorful and really nicely balanced. |

9/16/2022 - bear Likes this wine: 90 pointsReally good wine - always drinkable, with some length and depth and a consistency of style that is reassuring - you always know what you're getting, even though there are the normal noticeable vintage differences. It went very nicely with a slaw of sliced fennel bulb, mint leaves, and napa cabbage. |

9/12/2022 - jmcafee Does not like this wine: NRTasted a library version at the winery a year ago that had some nice qualities. My purchased bottle suffers from heavy oxidation that overwhelms everything else. Some acidity but not much secondary flavors or anything else. I'm very disappointed that the winery offered this for sale. |

8/5/2022 - bear Likes this wine: 91 pointsDrinking beautifully right now. the nose is a bit understated but has lots of cherry with some rock/loam notes. In the mouth, the cherry explodes. This is still one of my favorite wines - I could drink it every day. It has at least 4 more years left, in my opinion. |

7/24/2022 - bear Likes this wine: 93 pointsLike the 2011, this is a superb sauternes style wine. Just the right balance of acidity with the sweetness. Butterscotch, apricot, a bit of mango and pineapple. |
