Erath 2008 Prince Hill Pinot Noir Dundee Hills
“Excellent” Wine Press Northwest
Founder Dick Erath planted this vineyard in 1983, and 27 of its 34 acres are Pinot Noir. It's a favorite site for Gary Horner, who made four different vineyard-designated wines from the 2008 vintage. This is a youthful and spicy wine with aromas of violets and cranberries, followed by flavors of cherries and vanilla, all backed with just-right tannins.

Supple, graceful and appealing for the cinnamon and clove overtones to the pretty raspberry and red plum flavors, lingering easily on the refined finish.

Delicate and pure nose. The palate is stylish, enlivened by spice and an elegant length.
