The Prince of Pinot

L'Iris selected to the "Prince of Pinot Bucket List:" "...a carefully prepared list of classic wines, many with a historic pedigree, that should be on every pinotphile’s bucket list of Oregon Pinot Noirs to try before you, well, stop drinking."

The Wine Advocate

88 points from The Wine Advocate for 2008 Anne Amie Willamette Valley Pinot Noir: "Aromas of spice box, incense, cherry, and raspberry lead to a structured wine with layered fruit and spicy red fruit flavors. Give it 2-3 years to fully unwind and drink it from 2012 to 2020."

PinotFile on Oregon Wine

Rusty Gaffney, the Prince of Pinot, on Avalon Wine's "Wine of the Month," the 2008 Anne Amie Willamette Vineyards Pinot Noir: "Anne Amie Vineyards is one of the new stars of Oregon Pinot Noir...I couldn’t stop drinking this one. A terrific Willamette Valley blend that drinks like mother’s milk."
