2009 VISTA HILLS PINOT NOIR "MARYLHURST"
$31.99 BTL./$383.88 CASE
$31.99 BTL./$383.88 CASE
Made from Blocks G and K, the Marylhurst Pinot Noir is sturdier and darker-toned than the Treehouse. Dijon Clone 667 and 777 along with soil and site allow for this result. Dense full blackberry aspects. Luscious, ripe and revealing cinnamon and ground pepper. Rather crowd-pleasing and very likable through 2017+….Also, if you need accolades, this has 92 points from The Wine Enthusiast and wound up in their annual Top 100 list.
2010 VISTA HILLS PINOT NOIR "PIEDMONT"
$39.99 BTL./$479.88 CASE
$39.99 BTL./$479.88 CASE
Sensuality abounds, the Piedmont Pinot Noir really exhibits the qualities of just how wonderful and classic the 2010 Pinot Noir vintage is for both Oregon and for Vista Hills. Made by Jim Sanders from Le Cadeau, this graceful and luxurious Pinot Noir is knockout juice and will be even more prolific in 3-5 more years. Aromatic, floral, spiced cinnamon stick and nutmeg build and crescendo from the glass. Youthful with a seducing core that's all in the mid-palate and will undoubtedly expand with cellar time. Fine and persistent, very velvety on the back end. Not undrinkable with decanting, but will be at its finest 2014 – 2021.

Stuffed to the brim with flavor and a finish that's focused, vivid and vivacious, this is a wonderful sipper to start a meal or to serve with an array of seafood dishes and white meats.
