"Made in an exceptionally seductive, rich, velvety style, the 1994 Estate Pinot Noir is reminiscent of some of the top 1990 Louis Jadot premier crus. The wine reveals a healthy dark ruby color with purple tints. The expressive, fragrant nose of sweet oak, jammy black-cherries, and floral scents is followed by a medium-bodied, velvety-textured wine with a sweet, layered feel, and well-integrated acidity, tannin, and alcohol. It is a seamless, beautifully-rendered Pinot Noir that should drink well for 5-6 years. Bethel Heights has become one of Oregon's leaders, and why not? Their Pinot Noirs are among the sexiest and most compelling made in Oregon. There are generally four offerings, an early bottled First Release, and a trio of estate offerings, the Beaune premier-cru look-alike Estate, and the Flat Block Reserve and Southeast Block Reserve, two single vineyard wines that take the seduction and magnetism of the Pinot Noir grape to even loftier heights."
