2/24/2024 - Ewhite30 Likes this wine: NRTypifies the Dundee Hills in all the best ways. Red berries, brick dust, cinnamon and black pepper spice. Forest floor and orange peel. Textured, medium acidity. Great balance. Held up and drank beautifully over two nights. |

2013 De Ponte Cellars Pinot Noir Dundee Hillsmore |
2/14/2024 - P4V Likes this wine: 91 points2013 was not supposed to be a stellar vintage for Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley, this bottling has aged well over 11 years and is still drinking beautifully. Color is still a ruby red at the core with only a slight browning towards the edges in the glass. Good fruit, balanced with acidity with softened tannins and medium length. DePonte consistently produces excellent quality representative of good QPV. |

12/16/2023 - Russ P Likes this wine: 92 pointsA big, rich PN as expected. Nice as a sipper by itself or with food. Begins with deep darker fruit, some raisin characteristics. Freshly opened so working through it as I note a few things. |

12/1/2023 - VinCA wrote: NRDoesn't seem like a 12 year old Pinot. Bright cherry fruit, solid acid backbone - might make me rethink my bias against Dundee Hills. Actually, it's not that I don't like DH, I just seem to prefer Yamhill-Carlton, but a dedicated and deep DH v YC has not yet happened. Seems like a good project with John and Nathan when I'm in Portland next. |

11/8/2023 - Thoughtsonfly Likes this wine: 94 pointsRed fruit on the nose. Palate is perfectly ripe red raspberry, a hint of baking spice, great acidity and a finish that lingers with fruit and acid. Amazing for the 2017 vintage. |

10/9/2023 - LesPaul Likes this wine: NRSuch fresh wines - I love the De Ponte Pinots. That said, this particular 2014 has probably reached its peak. Still young and vibrant in bright flavor, but the texture is thinning and no further depth or complexity. Remains a tasty, friendly, solid Pinot worth drinking now. |

10/1/2023 - Bmathews Likes this wine: 94 pointsThese LRR Pinots really are magnificent. If you want a fruit forward California Pinot Noir, this will not be your glass of wine. However, if you enjoy earthy tones and a complexity that transforms as you make your way through the bottle, I highly recommend calling De Ponte and seeing if they have any more of these for purchase! |

2007 De Ponte Cellars Pinot Noir EstateDundee Hills more |
7/24/2023 - VinoAddict wrote: NRThis one is still going strong and aging beautifully. I've always found the Estate from De Ponte to be more refined and less fruit-driven than the 'standard' Dundee Hills; the 2007 is consistent with that observation. The nose is relatively quiet and subtle, but the body is well structured and beautifully layered. This is not a "big" Pinot to pair with a heavy meal, but one that stands up well to drinking with cheeses or with light fare. I don't think there's any rush to drink down what's in the cellar, but this has likely peaked and is sitting firm for the next 3-5 years. |
