Description
The Stoller vineyard is the largest contiguous vineyard in the Dundee Hills. The vines are planted on south-facing slopes ranging from 220-640 feet and enjoy a slightly warmer microclimate created by the shelter of surrounding mountain ranges. This results in greater consistency and predictability with regards to ripening than is usual in Oregon. The vineyard is also sustainably farmed. The warm 2012 vintage will offer great ripe notes with considerable depth and complexity.

Tasting Notes
Fresh red and dark cherries are framed in aromas of fine-ground baking spice here. The palate has a very smooth, refined feel with long, silky tannins, swirling around a core of fresh, red-cherry and berry flavor. Their finest release under this estate label. Drink or hold. Score - 92. (jamessuckling.com, Jan. 30, 2020)
