DUNDEE HILLS

One of the giant slayers of Oregon, it is remarkable that this is John Paul’s mere gateway wine. Declassified Clos Electrique and Abbey Ridge augmented with a smattering of La Colina, this is a true love letter to the Dundee Hills of Oregon.
After tasting the 2023, I remarked to JP that this version extended across the palate more than 2022 and even in the warm vintage, the octane (13.2% alcohol) remains in check. Brilliant, full-frontal Cameron and Dundee Hills nose highlighted by jasmine, strawberry, turned earth, sneaky blueberry, pepper and nutmeg notes arrive late. The texture gracefully fills the mouth with delightful old vine depth and extension, covering all points of the palate and finishing with lingering aspects that call you back for more. As usual this cuvee drinks early but no problem for it to age 10-12 years from vintage date.

And now for something completely different…Cameron’s rogue child and his Pinot Noir from outside of the Dundee Hills AVA, this fleshy, juicy number takes on the chewy aspects of this appellation and from (as John calls him) Hippie Alan’s White Oak Vineyard.
Sturdy, structured and voluminous Pinot with a Cameron stamp. Chewy, broad, combining black fruits with bits of cherry pit underpinnings. A bit more mono versus the stereo-sounds and flavors of Dundee Hills but quite attractive and a different take on a Cameron Pinot. Nice length and depth close the book and leaves you very satisfied. Drink this through 2030+.

2024 is yet another success for Giovanni. This wine provides tantalizing pleasure, never gets cumbersome and best of all, and makes you want to finish the bottle! Made without the use of intrusive oak notes, the wine is loaded with piercing lemon and floral scents with hints of mineral underneath.
Alsace-inspired this time, 2024 brings about enough roundness to coat the palate, but it is the blitzing aspects of both the Dundee soil, cool nights and Pinot Bianco varietal are what really allow this wine to shine. Complex and full of joy, this wine is perfect for those who want to serve a local wine with Spring Chinook salmon.

A way to have a fine Cameron Chardonnay experience is through the Dundee Hills cuvee that is always a superb value. The secret behind this wine is the fruit sources, Abbey Ridge and Clos Electrique.
2023 is chock full of lemon, papaya and pear aromas that intermingle nicely with subtle stony character and undertones of spiced cereal. Flavorful without being a caricature, owning a silky-smooth mouthfeel and great balance, this wine is a consistent winner that pairs beautifully with most Northwest seafood like salmon and halibut, or makes the perfect match with roasted poultry.
