DECANTER – 93 Points

The Reserve bottling from Domaine Lumineux from the nearly perfect 2021 vintage is sourced from their estate vineyard near the top of the Dundee Hills. The palate leans into fresh fruit, the Willamette Valley’s signature. Candied raspberries and cut strawberries are mixed with a whisper of turned earth, lively spices and chicory root. The palate is quite pretty; sweet red berries mingle with fresh mint, white peppercorns and a melange of savoury dried herbs.

James Suckling – 92 Points

A medium-bodied pinot with succulent wild strawberries, sour cherries and sweet spices on the nose. Vivid with a spicy character at the center and a mellow yet bright finish with more cherries on the aftertaste. Drink now.

Sunset International Wine Competition – 92 Points – GOLD!

Tart cherry; round well bodied wine. Well integrated oak.
