| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by bjamesclark on 1/20/2024 & rated 93 points: Decanted and allowed to breathe.
Perfumed on the nose with layers of bruised rose petals, rooibos, black tea, laurel leaf and spice that meet notes of dark cherry, brambleberry, and red currant with hints of cedar, sandalwood, licorice and smoky minerals.
That palate has good concentration and is lifted with great acidity. Tannins support the overall structure of the wine. Plenty of crunchy red fruit on the entry, red apple skins, wild raspberry, and cherry notes drive on the palate bringing in bramble, tea, spice, earth, desiccated florals, graphite and hints of earth and No. 2 pencil. The finish hangs on letting the structural components reverberate. (295 views) | | | Tasted by jbpdxwine on 3/14/2021: Opened yesterday. Tasted at Winery. Excellent balance of acidity, fruit and tannins. Lots of spice on the finish. Lay it down as long as you can. (893 views) |

After a long and careful search to find the best site possible to plant Pinot Noir, Mohamad “Mo” Ayoub found the land he dreamt about nestled in the Dundee Hills. Untouched to vines – Mo saw the perfect potential to plant Pinot Noir and create a sustainable, healthy and top producing vineyard. The volcanic jory soils, south-facing slopes and fertile land made it an easy decision to plant four prized acres of vines in 2001.
The Dundee Hills appellation is highly respected and known for its bright and elegant wines. In 2004, Mo was able to unveil the potential of his land by producing a wine from the vines he meticulously planted and cared for. The results proved to be flourishing, providing bright fruit and unique complexity, creating an elegant Pinot Noir. Ayoub is committed to producing a limited amount of Pinot Noir of the highest quality.
Dundee Hills has earned an internationally recognized reputation for producing high quality New World Pinot Noir. Winters are mild and wet, while summers are warm and dry, each being influenced by the marine air from the Pacific Ocean. The Coast Range mountains protect the valley from the ocean and act as a rain shadow to minimize the rainfall as it moves from the water to inland. The climatic influences provide the perfect opportunity for the fruit to develop with full character and flavor profiles.
The Ayoub Vineyard is located in the heart of the red hills of Dundee. It is farmed by hand with great respect and care for the land, vines and natural surroundings. The steep sloped southeast-facing four acres site, with its red clay volcanic soil, is ideal for producing high quality Pinot Noir. It is densely planted resulting in low-yielding vines to increase the flavor of the fruit. Red Blend.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)Oregon* |
