Stoller Family Estate 2011 Reserve Estate Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, $45
Portland State University grad Melissa Burr recently wrapped up her 11th harvest for Bill Stoller, and while the 2014 crush might have been the easiest and earliest, the 2011 vintage started late — Oct. 13 — and extended into November. For this tier, she picks from her favorite barrel lots with clones of Pommard, Wädenswil and Dijon 115, 667, and 777. The nose is reminiscent of Burgundy with earthiness and saddle leather among hints of pie cherry and mint. Inside, it’s brimming with delicious acidity and flavors of cranberry and Montmorency cherry that stream through to the finish of currant skin tannins and roasted meat. Enjoy with filet mignon, alder-planked salmon and Brie.
Rating: Excellent
Production: 1,300 cases
