Winderlea "Winderlea Vineyard" Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2018

Vinous : 93 Points

(2/2022) Deep, vivid garnet. Cherry pit, cola, musky herb and floral qualities on the highly perfumed nose. Appealingly sweet and energetic on the palate, offering cherry pie, black raspberry and candied rose flavors that spread out and become sweeter with air. Shows fine definition and spicy lift on a long, mineral-tinged finish that features finely woven tannins and a hint of candied licorice. All neutral French oak.

Wine Enthusiast : 93 Points

(3/1/2021) This wine is made partially from 35-year-old vines from a biodynamically farmed estate vineyard. It offers sharply defined flavors of citrus and stone around a core of cherry fruit, framed by a phenolic bite. It's a dense wine that dives down deeply into a concentrated, mineral-soaked finish. Drink through 2030.
