91 Points, Wine Spectator - Ripe and generous, offering a big mouthful of blackberry and blueberry flavors on a refined, deftly balanced frame, this is broad without a lot of weight. There's a hint of mineral on the finish.

Tasting Notes
The 2008 Grande Cuvee Pinot Noir delivers suave aromas of macerated cherries, blackcurrant, spices and cigar box. The flavors are fresh and juicy, showing ripe black cherries and cassis, framed by a long spicy aftertaste with a vibrant structure. Enjoy this complex yet easily approachable wine now or cellar for up to 7 years. Pairs well with Northwest-inspired cuisine, like salmon, duck or mushrooms.

Vintage Notes
The 2008 vintage is becoming a new benchmark vintage for Oregon, following in the foot steps of the great 1999 vintage which was mostly characterized by a very long, beautiful Indian summer. The 2008 season started almost a month behind normal bud break times and the unfortunate rainy episodes during the fruit set caused a smaller crop load than usual. The overall growing season was cooler than average and resulted in late maturing of the fruit; we saw some veraison only occurring in the month of September. Fortunately for us the rain did not come in the month of September and October. Having started a month behind, we all felt that we had “dodged the bullet,” and did not realize we were about to create a wine that will be part of our wine history.
