2003 O’Reilly’s Pinot Noir

2003 O’Reilly’s Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price:

Description: Each year when asked which is my favorite wine of the vintage, I unhesitatingly blurt out that the O’Reilly’s Pinot Noir wins hands down, simply because it’s almost impossible to find a Pinot Noir from anywhere with this much character at this price. The fruit is farmed identically to the Owen Roe single vineyard offerings, and many blocks end up in the O’Reilly’s blend simply because they do not fit in the style of Owen Roe. As a result, the O’Reilly’s Pinot Noir is an incredible bargain if it was twice the price. The 2003 vintage was the warmest in modern Oregon winemaking history. We had plenty of late spring heat, and the unusually warm summer ripened the fruit a full 4 weeks early. The 2003 O’Reilly’s is dark and rich with its’ characteristic fragrance.
