This is a long time coming. Lush, tart cherries. Hints of earth and plum round out the palate. Worth every penny. Wish I had another bottle.

Too fruity for me. Not enough balance and acidity.

Great acid, citrus dominant. 2nd 14 stunner from Wind Hill. Incredible structure, will age forever.

Earthy and spicy. Bold right out of the bottle — no decant needed. Great balance with grilled lamb. Thanks @Kim Brater

Amazing Pinot. Lucious cherry with earthy notes. Blackberry on the finish. Great vintage.

Windhill is one of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in Oregon. South facing Laurelwood soil in the foothills of the Oregon coast. These vines were planted in 1974! The wine is luscious and has a wonderful mouth feel. It's blackberry and soil. With a great finish. So good.
