Red Wine Hand-Picked
The wine is 100% Willamette Valley Pinot Noir mainly from the Dundee Hills AVA offering a bright core of red fruit, supple tannins and a generous mouth feel. Opening with awesome aromas of Marion berry, black raspberry and star anise, this wine immediately seduces the palate with an abundance of sweet cherry, raspberry and pomegranate flavors. Racy acidity balances the round generous fruit for an elegant and alluring wine. This is a pinot Noir for both Cali and Oregon lovers.

 BRITTAN VINEYARDS GESTALT BLOCK PINOT NOIR 
sku # 2478801
Red Wine Hand-Picked
93 Pts RP r <font color=red> <strong> 93 pts Parker </strong></font><br><br> I have been waiting for this to come in and it has finally arrived, a Pinot Noir from Oregon that can give the great Burgs a run for their money. Parker’s WA calls this wine one of the stars of the vintage, beautifully proportioned and exceptionally lengthy. These adjectives are normally reserved for $100 plus Pinot’s but not this time, the 2009 Brittan Pinot Noir Gestalt Block from the McMinnville AVA in Willamette Valley is a stunner, 93 pts by Parker and by the case under fifty bucks a bottle. This is as good as Oregon Pinot Noir gets. The wine public loves Oregon Pinot Noir because it combines so well the depth and complexity and earthy tones of great red Burgundy with added fruit concentration and approachableness that the new world offers. The wine is made by veteran Winemaker Robert Britton who after thirty years of making wine in Napa (Farniente and Stags Leap Winery)  decided to move to Willamette to make Pinot Noir and the results are spectacular. His wines have become some of the most sought after Oregon Pinots and very hard to get. He spent years selecting the perfect hillside slope. He makes two Cuvees from the site. The Gestalt comes from the West facing most exposed block in the vineyard resulting in a wine that will always be transparent to its vintage and unique to the site. These southwestern facing blocks stare down the arriving storms from the Pacific as they travel through the Van Duzer corridor.  2009 was a warm vintage resulting in beautifully complex  and balanced wine with rich, ripe flavors. The length on this wine blew me away, a great Pinot Noir at the price.<br><br><b>Tasting Notes: </b> Parkers WA: The same can be said for the 2009 Pinot Noir Gestalt Block. It is more expressive aromatically with hints of red licorice, tobacco leaf, spice box, black cherry, and black raspberry. Intense, concentrated, and vibrant on the palate, this elegant, suave Pinot is beautifully proportioned and exceptionally lengthy. It is one of the stars of the vintage.Brittan: Beautifully complex and balanced wine of rich, ripe flavors dominated by black cherry and red plum, along with spicy notes of sweet cinnamon and cardamom, and just a hint of savory tobacco.
