Tendril 2009 Pinot Noir

Cellar Selection

Price $48

Deep, firm and concentrated, this gorgeous wine has the muscularity of Cabernet, but the plush, velvet elegance of Pinot Noir. Youthful and rich, it has deep fruit flavors of blackberry and black cherry, with barrel notes of coffee, chocolate and anise. Full, smooth and supple, it is certainly among the best of the Oregon 2009s. — P.G. (8/1/2012)

Tendril 2009 Tightrope Pinot Noir

Price $64

The Tightrope bottling from Tendril winemaker Tony Rynders has the power and complexity of its companion “White Label” bottling, but it needs more time to pull itself together. Right now the wood component still has a rough, raw edge, unless given several hours of breathing time. The powerful cherry fruit is there to match it, but the details remain hidden. — P.G.
