Andrew Rich Wines Pinot Noir Verbatim 2012
Bottle $64.99 15% off mix 6 $55.24 20% off mix 12 $51.99
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 92 Points "The 2012 Pinot Noir Verbatim, which spends 15 months in barrel (30% new), has a well-defined, open and bright bouquet with red cherries and wild strawberry scents. The palate is well structured with vibrant dark berry fruit with a subtle saline edge. This is nicely reserved but does not shortchange on fruit, fanning out gently on the finish and revealing unexpected persistence. Excellent." Drink now to 2018.

Lemelson Vineyards Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Jerome Reserve 2012
Bottle $59.99 15% off mix 6 $50.99 20% off mix 12 $47.99
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 91 Points "The 2012 Pinot Noir Jerome Reserve comes from Wadenswil, 114 and 777 clones, cropped on October 5 and 19 at 1.9 tons per acre. Most of the fruit was destemmed with a high proportion of whole berries, aged for 14 months in 47% new and the remainder used oak barrels. It has one of the most complex aromatic profiles of Lemelson's range, with impressive delineation and focus. Here the fruit is more red than black with subtle forest-floor scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite elegant in the mouth with fine tension, although I would have liked a little more flesh and body toward the linear finish. Still, this is nicely focused, almost understated, and should age with style."

Wine Spectator 92 Points "Light and silky, bright with cherry, raspberry and cinnamon, coming together harmoniously against refined tannins on the expressive finish. Best from 2016 through 2022."

Rex Hill Vineyards Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Jacob Hart Vineyard 2012
Bottle $59.99 15% off mix 6 $50.99 20% off mix 12 $47.99
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 94 Points "The 2012 Pinot Noir Jacob Hart Vineyard was biodynamically certified in 2009. Picked October 8-11, it includes 25% whole-cluster fruit, matured for 12 months in 36% new oak. It has a very precise bouquet that allows the mineralité to show through, very focused and poised with dark cherries, freshly tilled soil, nutmeg and cracked black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannin married with a keen line of acidity. It gently builds toward a fresh, nervous finish that lingers long in the mouth. Superb."

Bergstrom Pre du Col Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2013
Bottle $74.99 15% off mix 6 $63.74 20% off mix 12 $59.99
 
Wine Spectator 95 Points The Bergström Wines 2013 Le Pré du Col Pinot Noir is dark cherry red in color, Burgundy-inspired aromas of mushroom and forest floor, wild red and dark fruits and a savory salty culinary type of influence of meat, spices, brown sugar and the tell-tale Le Pre du Col cinnamon red-hot cherry candies. This wine has great mineral cut and juicy mouthwatering natural acidities with very fine tannins. The wine is very spicy and sweet in the mouth with a slight hint of reduction, mushrooms and red fruits.
 
Bergstrom Dundee Hills Bergstrom Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013
Bottle $94.99 15% off mix 6 $80.74 20% off mix 12 $75.99
Wine Spectator 93 Points Vibrant ruby in color with pink reflections and has aromas of pipe tobacco, dark chocolate, citrus oils, savory herb garden, black cherries, and mint. There is sweet bright crunch of fruit in the mouth with succulent mouthwatering acidity which drives this wine's energy. This wine possesses a core of dark red fruits and sweet spices in the mid palate with very fine dusting of sweet tannins and a long finish. A very unique but special bottling from this great vineyard site.
