SOLD OUT -- Stoller is one of Oregon's hottest wineries at the moment, and their affordably delicious wines are getting the praise they've long deserved.
Their 2021 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir is immensely drinkable, beautifully polished, and it comes to you at a really good price. Recently rated 93 points by Wine Spectator, who suggested the retail should be $40, we can do a bit better than that...
Just 84 bottles up for grabs, and that's all my distributor had. I'm working on getting more, but I don't think it's gonna' happen....

The Dundee Hills is where it all started for Oregon Pinot Noir, and today, this magical AVA is known as the epicenter of Willamette Valley Pinot. The fine folks at Stoller have some primely placed vineyards right in the heart of the zone, and in the fabulous 2021 vintage, they stuck gold with their Estate Pinot Noir.
For me, Oregon Pinot Noir is all about texture and spicy/earthy complexity, and this wine possesses both of those traits in a very balanced manner. The wine just glides and soothes the palate with generously ripened red fruit flavors buttressed by brown spices and earth.
Wine Spectator: "Refined and generous, with sleekly layered raspberry and cherry flavors that take on notes of orange peel and baking spices, with hints of stony mineral as this builds tension toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2031."
I could smell it all day too. The aromas build and develop into an aroma that could best be described as a "Parfum de Willamette." :) If you ever visit the Willamette Valley, go to Stoller. You'll probably have to book an appointment, but it's well worth it. Their tasting room and facilities are just as beautiful as this wine!
Until then, pick up a bottle or 6 of this, and do with it what you will. It's great with food, but it's also great for sipping by the fire with a good friend.
