Amalie's Cuvée Oregon Pinot Noir

Nice mature OR pinot. Still good fruit but also has secondary flavors. Good buy.

Delicious earthy Pinot. Perfect with butter poached lobster with island mushrooms and abalone. Life is good.

Beautiful pungent nose that puts forth like a plum compote or jam, pine sap, perfumed florals, hints at dark red fruits, and maybe a little smoke, and something that makes me think of mushrooms and thistle (though that could just be me) with some peppery grass at the finish. Medium body, with notes of roasted meat, earthy tannin, tart rich plum, and prominent spiced notes. Rich, dark, and extremely expressive without being a fruit juice bomb this is a really good pinot.

Jan 6th, 2024A really impressive showing, a textbook and among the best aged new world Pinots I have ever had. It is a benchmark for willamette valley Pinot and a screaming application for the mount pisgah ava
Fresh, lifted, energetic. Evocative nose with fresh black and some red cherry, florals (lavender with some rose I think) cinnamon, that Dr Pepper thing, forest floor, freshly filled soil Also some notes of mushroom, leather, roibos tea, and exotic Asian spices But the power of this wine is In the texture and structure, which is world class. Dramatic tension, full mouthfeel, the slight graininess of an well built unfiltered wine - more clean water form a sendimentary river than any real sense of true sediment; vivid acidity that refreshed but also commands attention. In that way reminds me of a chambolle. I am floored. Maybe not the endless layers of flavors. But still Grand cru stuff. Not going anywhere. Not right to say this is or has peaked. This wine has come of age rather than peaked

Deep deep Oregon Pinot - hard to describe. Never had one this old. Certainly more structure than usual - good with food.

Very impressive Pinot Noir properly jammed with sour cherry fruit and with some elegance. Despite mature age feels a little too young.

Soft and elegant. Light black cherry, hints of herbs, tones of wild strawberries. Has aged well.

Nov 6th, 2016This was up against tough CA competition during single blind Pinot tasting tonight. Didn't do well, but still a nice subtle wine I have enjoyed all 3 bottles of.
