Before each vintage sells out we try to
hold back a small quantity of our more “age-worthy” wines in
our library. We then age them in our cellar until our winemakers
determine that they are ideal for drinking. Check out what’s
currently available from our library. And check back often to see what
we’ve pulled from the cellar!

2005 Pinot Noir, Oregon
The “Oregon” Pinot Noir bottling is the cornerstone of the Erath wine portfolio.
A blend of different vineyard sites from the northern Willamette Valley, this
wine is a fruit forward, ready-to-drink style of Pinot Noir. New oak is used
sparingly so as to not mask the purity of fruit. Two-thirds of the fruit
used in this wine is from our Estate vineyards located in the newly
designated Dundee Hills viticultural area.

2003 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Estate Selection
Erath grows Pinot Noir at six different sites in the Dundee Hills viticultural
area. "Reserve" quality lots are chosen from the best wines from these sites
and blended to make this Estate Selection cuveé. The iron-clad Jory soils
predominate this growing area and give the wines their distinctive aroma
and flavor profiles, and elegant, age-worthy structure. Fruit focused in
their youth, our Estate Selection Pinots gain additional complexity
and sophistication when cellared for three to eight years.

2002 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Estate Selection
Made entirely from estate grown fruit from the Dundee Hills
appellation, this wine has cherry, toast, and cola notes in the nose; black cherry,
oak, truffle, and spice on the palate with wild blackberry, sage, and lavender
notes emerging in the finish. Dick Erath says “this wine makes me think of
cherry pie with vanilla crust”.
