Landing a respectable 92 points, the 2014 Anderson Family Vineyards Pinot Noir from Dundee Hills is a standout in its class. This Pinot Noir is truly a testament to the unique terroir of Dundee Hills, an area known for its volcanic soils and cool climate that imparts a distinctive minerality and bright acidity to the wines. On tasting, you’ll discover a symphony of ripe cherry and raspberry notes, intertwined with a whisper of earthy spice and a hint of vanilla. It is a wine that, while complex, remains harmonious and balanced – a feature that makes it a versatile partner to a variety of dishes, especially duck or mushroom risotto. Despite its superior quality, it outperforms many of its higher-priced peers, making it a smart buy for those seeking a high-quality Pinot Noir.
