Luminous Hills 2009 Astra Pinot Noir (Yamhill-Carlton District)
- $35
Firm and focused, this limited production (98 case) estate-grown Pinot Noir has the muscle and steel frame to be genuinely ageworthy. The tart fruit brings in berry and cherry, framed with supple tannins.

Luminous Hills 2009 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Yamhill-Carlton District)
- $28
Soft and fruity, with a pretty raspberry core of fruit, and a velvety chocolate finish. Despite the 15% alcohol, it seems rather elegant, gently rolling into a seamless finish dotted with peppery spice.

Luminous Hills 2010 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Yamhill-Carlton District)
- $28
This is a solid, flavorful and earthy wine; it’s blocky core of black cherry fruit is set against a foundation of earth and concrete notes. Full bodied and powerful, the finish resonates with drying tannins.

Luminous Hills 2010 Lux Pinot Noir (Yamhill-Carlton District)
- $35
Herbal and toasty, this is a smooth, open and forward Pinot. It is showing plenty of barrel influence at the moment, but the fruit seems to thin out a bit in the finish. As it’s young, it could certainly flesh out and balance itself with a bit more bottle age.

Luminous Hills 2008 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Yamhill-Carlton District)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Light, young vine fruit flavors mix strawberry and rhubarb, with a tangy, citrus component underscoring the midpalate. It gets a little more interesting in the finish, which brings in seed flavors and a lingering, orange juicy aftertaste.

Luminous Hills 2008 Lux Pinot Noir (Yamhill-Carlton District)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
The LUX bottling has a bit more concentration than the other estate-grown Pinot Noir from Luminous Hills. The fruit carries much the same strawberry/citrus flavor, but with more grip and focus. The tannins are proportional, and the wine is balanced, but thins out quickly in the finish.

Luminous Hills 2009 Lux Pinot Noir (Yamhill-Carlton District)
- $35
Already showing some bricking around the rim, this estate-grown Pinot Noir mixes spicy strawberry and some residual fermentation flavors of biscuit and blood. Difficult to know how this one is going to age.
