2008 Guadalupe Vineyard Pinot noir...92 pts. (Wine Advocate #191 Oct. 2010) The 2008 Pinot Noir Guadalupe Vineyard is medium ruby red with a fragrant bouquet of smoke, exotic spices, incense, cherry blossom, strawberry, and raspberry that jumps from the glass. Elegant on the palate with intense red fruit flavors, plenty of ripe tannin, and outstanding depth and concentration, it will continue to blossom for another 3-4 years and provide a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2023. At the asking price it is an outstanding value.
Joel Myers is a longtime Willamette Valley vineyard manager. One of the vineyards he manages is Guadalupe in the Dundee Hills where the fruit from this wine originated. -Jay Miller (erobertparker.com)
2008 Guadalupe Vineyard Pinot gris Siltstone is the winery label of legendary Willamette Valley vineyard manager Joel Myers, who has captured all the class and grace of the superb 2008 vintage in this succulent Pinot Gris from the famed Guadalupe Vineyard. In the glass the Siltstone Pinot Gris shows a pale straw color accented by glints of green, and a textbook Oregon Pinot Gris nose of buttered pears, honeysuckle and smoke. Crisp and minerally on the fore-palate, Siltstone’s Pinot Gris segues seamlessly to a velvety texture and honeyed pear fruit on the mid-palate. Suggestions of buttered Jonagold apples and smoky soil notes transition the wine to its long, full and satisfying finish. This is one of the most distinctive Oregon Pinot Gris in many a vintage. Serve as an apéritif, or as a complement to broiled salmon, halibut, fresh cheeses and light vegetarian fare. Drink now or over the next three years. -Liner and Elsen Wine Merchants Portland, OR (linerandelsen.com)
