Wine Review by Chuck Hill

Northwest wine author and columnist Chuck Hill just posted a great review of our 2006 Pinot Noir on his website, part 2 of a series focusing on Pinot Noir and Coppoer River Salmon.  You can read it below, but be sure to check out some of his other reviews at http://www.winesnw.com/chuckhill_winesofweek.htm.  He obviously knows his wine!

“Neurosurgeon Mauricio Collada puts on his winemaker cap each fall to harvest and vinify Pinot Noir at his winery in Oregon’s Eola Hills. His 2006 Pinot Noir is succulent and seductive (in a Cuban way) as an accompaniment to salmon.  The nose is rich with black cherry and spice with hints of cedar and cassis. The palate offers smoky notes over rich cherry fruit with flavors of plum and herb in the finish.  Delicious with grilled salmon.”
