Tasting Notes

The term "Tall Poppy" is a begrudging compliment to someone that is head and shoulders above the rest.  This particular bottling is the 10th Tall Poppy produced in 35 years of Yamhill Valley Vineyards Pinot Noir.  Savor this special and age-worthy bottle that is sourced from our "Old Pommard" block.  This wine has what we have come to know as YVV terroir; rich, dense, structured, yet soft and complex.

Accolades

95 points, Seal of Approval - Blue Lifestyle, Anthony Dias Blue

Double Gold - San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition

Outstanding, Great Northwest Wine: "Alluring aromas of pie cherry filling, dried strawberry and plum skins make their way onto a finesse-filled palate that’s smooth with blackcurrant jelly flavors with lingering brightness for a fetching finish."

92 pts, Vinous, Josh Raynolds: “Bright red. Spice-accented red and dark berry aromas pick up complementary suggestions of succulent herbs, potpourri and smoky minerals with aeration. Juicy and appealingly sweet, offering densely packed black raspberry, cherry cola and rose pastille flavors, and five-spice powder and musky earth flourishes. Closes impressively long and youthfully chewy, with repeating cherry character and dusty tannins that add shape and closing grip.”
