The 2018 ‘Wichmann Dundee’ Pinot Noir is sourced from this smaller, 8 acre site set on volcanic soils in the Dundee Hills AVA. A light dusting of both white pepper and volcanic ash fall on the core of bright red fruits with shades of damp earth on the nose. The palate is bright, lithe and beautifully textured with excellent length. Surprisingly high-toned with its orange rind and cran-pomegranate flavors that meld with minerals and salty damp terroir, the 2018 ‘Wichmann Dundee’ Pinot Noir is bright and delicious to savor in its youth but has a long way to go, as it will evolve to something distinctly earthy and a world away from what we see now. Drink 2020-2033- 93

Yeah. This was good. Just very solid high-tone but not gaudy Pinot from a producer I typically associate with awesome Riesling.

One of my favorite Willamette wineries. 2012 was a great year for Oregon pinots. This wine does not disappoint. $49 from winery

Started out slow out of the bottle, was already writing it off, and then as it opened the complexed on the finished started to shine through, probably opened too early.
