8/3/2019 - kscaldef wrote: 86 pointsI'm sad to say this has not aged as well as I'd have hoped. The first glasses (with dinner) had significant oxidative, dried fruit character. We walked the dogs and returned to finish the rest of the bottle and with just 90 minutes or so of exposure to air in the bottle the rest had really fallen off a cliff. I'd certainly say drink this one if you have it still, and probably under nitrogen or argon if you're not going to pour the whole bottle at once. |

8/2/2019 - mathwonk wrote: NRJust opened, and seems a little orange in color as if old, weak flavors, slightly sharp and alcoholic. I chose it because I have liked the shea vineyard pinots from penner ash, which are not available locally, but this has no resemblance at all to those rich wines. Of course the last 2013 shea I had fom Penner ash was also getting old, so maybe these oregon pinots have short legs. So far quite disappointing at $67, but will say more after giving it more airtime. I even feel a slight headache from this thin alcoholic wine, listed at only 13.5%. |

7/23/2019 - Brian Glas Likes this wine: 88 pointsSour raspberries on the palate. Some green tea notes. You can tell this was from a cool vintage as there isn't the nice round red berry fruits. Nice acidity. Medium finish. |

6/23/2019 - Alexander Smith Likes this wine: 91 pointsDeep, lush and full-bodied Pinot Noir from Dundee Hills. There were aromas of red cherries, vanilla bean and liquorice, the palate was composed of soft red fruits, with characteristics of bright tart red cherries, cola fresh herbs along with a soft, delicate and creamy finish. Has this peaked? Drink now. |

6/15/2019 - stevenc.rees@gmail.com Likes this wine: 90 pointsAbout the same as I remember it: fairly big in style, dark cherry, fair to good balance, medium long finish. I liked it but think the price was a bit high at $51 US. Served with coho salmon and grilled veg: it held up well to all the food and goes well with salmon. Drink or hold. |

6/8/2019 - Oh Dae-su wrote: 88 pointsDer Winderlea Dundee Hills Vineyards Pinot Noir 2014 zeigte sich am ersten Tag nicht von seiner besten Seite. Am zweiten Tag präsentierte er um so mehr freudeerzeugende Oregon-Funk-lastige herkunftstypische Eigenschaften die mich versöhnen konnten. Farblich blieb er über die zwei Verkostungstage natürlich unverändert. Sehr transparent, eher etwas dunkler und mit einer recht knallig-leuchtenden Farbe ausgestattet. Was die Nase betrifft war er am ersten Tag sehr sehr zurückhaltend. Abgesehen von Laub, Pilzen, ganz schüchtern wirkende dunkle Kirschen - dafür aber etwas verwirrende grüne Banane, war der Wein zunächst sehr stark vom Holz geprägt. Ähnliches spielte sich auch am Gaumen ab. Hier zwar mit etwas mehr Frucht, mehr dunkelbeerig als kirschig, und leider mit erstaunlich softem Tannin und magenfreundlicher Säure „verwöhnt“. Glücklicherweise entwickelte sich der Dundee Hills Pinot Noir über Nacht in eine wesentlich ansprechendere Richtung. In der Nase wesentlich mehr Expression von dunklen Kirschen, etwas Cassis, viel Laub, wild(-schweinisch)em Wacholder und Thymian, auch etwas Pfeffer und feinen getrockneten Pilzen. Auch am Gaumen in ähnlicherer Richtung verwandelt. Das Holz war ebenfalls ein wenig stärker aus dem Fokus gerückt. Am zweiten Tag insgesamt ein harmoniegeprägter, saft-und kraftbetonter Dundee Hills Pinot mit durchaus richtig anständigen**** Qualitäten. Versöhnen konnte er mich am zweiten Tag. Begeistern eher weniger ... |

5/23/2019 - ewsds Likes this wine: 91 pointsSurprisingly translucent, nuanced and ready-to-drink Pinot at its young age. Expressive red and blue fruits with a touch of sweetness and earth. Very approachable now and ready to drink, dispute the CellarTracker drink dates. |

4/14/2019 - RLP805 wrote: 88 pointsOpened about 30min before consuming. Well balanced with strawberry and cherry fruit but not overwhelming. A bit "stemmy" and surprising strong tannins with a mid to long finish. With the mild fruit showing not sure how much longer this one has, I will be drinking my other bottle soon. |

4/4/2019 - Topsoil Likes this wine: 90 pointsNot much going on till it warmed to room temperature and opened up. Was much better within 1 hour. First notes were strawberry which transitioned to light berry and faint cherry cola. Slight tea was expressed when it fully opened. Nice true to Oregon representation of pinot and 90 point rating takes price into consideration. |

3/23/2019 - oropeza Likes this wine: NRStrawberry on the nose and in the mouth; moving from underripe to ripe and back as it moves into the nice pop of acidity on the finish. Earth and toffee notes in the background along the way. YUM. Another great example of the initially-awful, long-term wonderful summer-without-a-summer 2011. |
