Excellent!
Duck Pond Cellars 2006 Pinot Noir,
Willamette Valley $20
Known for producing good quality at modest prices, the Dundee, Ore. Winery continues that trend, nearly pushing its way into outstanding category. More than 90% of the grapes come from two Duck Pond estate vineyards, which gives the winery great control over quality. This opens with aromas of Rainier cherries, strawberries and cloves, which give way to bright, rich flavors of bright red fruit backed by plentiful acidity. (22,637 cases)
Outstanding!
Duck Pond Cellars 2005 Jory Cuvee Pinot Noir $30
The Fries Family has operated the Dundee, Ore. Winery for nearly 20 years and is best known for producing good, affordable wines. This higher-end bottling is a bit of a departure – and is superb. Using grapes primarily from its estate St Jory vineyard in the South Salem Hills (and 9% from the Dundee Hills), it has crafted a wine that is bright and approachable yet complex. It opens with aromas of petals, spicy pie cherries, raspberries and cinnamon, followed by clean flavors of raspberries, Rainier cherries and cranberries, with hints of vanilla and something that reminded us of a dusty country road after a spring rain. (468 cases)
