Great depth, lift and intensity. Think most elegant pommard or beaune 1er Cru with a kiss of Cali sunshine. That’s this.

Singing a beautiful tune. Wine is showing great fruit, structure is still in place. Not falling apart at all.

1985 south block eyrie Pinot noir tastes so deeply of its vineyard it could be nothing else. In a region where I often have a hard time finding distinctions between the top wines Eyrie's stands out as a completely unique and consistent Pinot noir producer.

Gives a man pause. Simply fantastic. Singular and of place. And youthful. Vibrant. Amazing energy and distinctly Dundee. "This wine is so certain in its selfhood that it erases the memories of flaws of wines you've had before." ~ Eric Raymond

An absolutely mind blowing showing!!! This redefines Oregon for me in its potential. After 30 years, this wine was on par with many a Burgundian. Magnificent stuff, magic from PNW.
