(3898 views) | | | Tasted by WAWINEFAN on 10/31/2015 & rated 91 points: Like this wine. A classic Pinot from the willamette valley (4014 views) | | | Tasted by Portland Pinot Pigs on 6/27/2015 & rated 85 points: I didn't like this at all on the first night. Re-corked and tasted after 24 hours and it was much more approachable. We only have 1 bottle left so I will remember to decant or wait a day. 2009 was a tricky year - with pinots that tend to be structured, hot, and bold but not very fruit forward or nuanced. I'd say this holds true to the trend. Score is 79 on day 1, 85 on day 2.

It is frankly very nicely - long finish for this big Pinot! (2262 views) | | | Tasted by WinoRick on 3/15/2015 & rated 91 points: From a purchase of six, this wine is getting better each time I have it. The pro raters were right about this vintage. I took this to dinner with friends, not being sure we'd drink it. It's the one Stoller vintage that shows no sediment which is the reason I took it. Still, it shows plenty of fruit and life ahead. (2310 views) | | | Tasted by WinoRick on 2/2/2015 & rated 90 points: With pork loin, pop n pour. Should have popped and decanted and let the wine aerate. Medium bodied with Stoller's edginess. There was a bitterness in the beginning that faded to what I like in Stoller's pinots. Trouble was, it was the last pour. (2316 views) | | | Tasted by shaffej on 1/17/2015 & rated 88 points: Still got plenty of life left in this one...big and bold. (1932 views) | | | Tasted by bundydavis on 12/19/2014 & rated 91 points: Solid pinot. (2402 views) | | | Tasted by yofog on 9/3/2014: I liked this the first time I tried it, but now it's feeling unbalanced, with raspberry jam aromas and a sharp and hot feel on the palate, and a weak, watery finish. (2795 views) | | | Tasted by Atwellian on 8/21/2014 & rated 81 points: This wine was not pleasing. Excessively hot and jammy. After being open a full day, the heat had resolved a bit but it was still too sweet, almost a bit treacly, and excessively ripe. Unlike most of the Willamette Valley 2009s this was unapproachable and overwhelmingly fruity. Nose is black fruit, plum shading to prunes, spice. Dark red. Tannins are present and medium finish but overwhelmed by hot sweet fruit. Bad bottle? purchased at the winery and stored in my cellar ever since. (2522 views) | | | Tasted by shaffej on 4/19/2014 & rated 92 points: Classic nose, big, bold and dark. Good tannins. While it's drinking nice now, there seems to be much more to come. 1 of 4 btls so I'm giving it another year before opening the next. (2846 views) | | | Tasted by smartmass on 12/26/2013 & rated 90 points: This wine surprised me. Great notes. Not too harsh on the palate (3194 views) | | | Tasted by dundeehills on 11/24/2013 & rated 91 points: Big fruit dark berries up front some tobacco long finish with some minerality. (3175 views) | | | Tasted by yofog on 11/8/2013: A good deal fuller/more stuffing than the JV, maybe will be better with age (I'm sure it will) but at the moment the JV is much more balanced and fun. (2639 views) | | | Tasted by Jseelander on 10/3/2013 & rated 92 points: Excellent example of Willamette Pinot Nior. Enjoyed completely. (2777 views) | | | Tasted by snaff on 8/1/2013 & rated 89 points: Very nice, well balanced pinot with dense new world fruit, but a pleasant herbal finish. (2268 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 7/31/2013 & rated 89 points: Willamette Valley Oregon Trip 4 & 1/2 Days; 7/29/2013-8/4/2013 (Willamette Valley, Oregon): SV: Senior Vines, 2000 and older. Nice nose. Bigger palate, darker, heavier, spicy, firm tannins, underbrush. Young. (3822 views) | | | Tasted by Blackwa on 5/24/2013 & rated 93 points: This had delicious sweet tannins with very deep res fruit of black cherry & strawberry. Nose shows some clove & ginger with some deep black cherry & toasted nuts. Love the texture & this is very easy drinking with the black cherry, strawberry, & some bay leaf showing throughout.

Washington Wine Report (11/26/2012)
(Stoller Family SV Estate Pinot Noir Dundee Hills) Pale ruby in color. Though still wound up tightly, this remains an immediately appealing, fruit forward wine with tree bark, peppermint, forest floor, cinnamon, and black cherries. The palate does not hold back- it’s true to the vintage - full throttle, plush, rich, and concentrated with vibrant cherry and cranberry flavors with cinnamon and vanilla accents and a full flavored feel. 100% Pinot Noir. Aged 10 months in French oak (40% new). 14.5% alcohol. **** points | By Richard Jennings

Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Willamette Valley Willamette Valley Wineries Association | Willamette Valley (Oregon Wine Board)
