91pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2023 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills was fermented with 20% whole clusters and matured for nine months in 15% new French oak. It has open-knit aromas of dried cherries and cranberries, tobacco, tea leaves, mossy bark and earth. The medium-bodied palate features generous spicy flavors and a silky texture. It’s balanced by fresh acidity and has a long, spicy finish.

Winemaker Notes

Archery Summit Dundee Hills Pinot Noir touts all the hallmarks of this storied appellation. It begins with hints of ripe plum skin, ocean air, baking spices, and cocoa powder dustiness on the nose. The palate is just as expressive, with fresh, juicy red fruit backed by graceful tannins, a complex brininess, and a mouth-watering acidity. Finishing with spiced oak and a mouth-coating basalt minerality, this wine is great now and will be for years to come.

Winery Notes

In 1993, Archery Summit set its sights on creating wines of real purpose in the Willamette Valley. Since, the Dundee Hills winery has helped establish the region as the cradle of cooler-climate American wine. Winemaker Ian Burch and his team achieve bar-raising wines by way of earned instincts—the familiarity gained from many shared vintages, tending sites they know personally.
