"The nose is hard red stone fruit, herb and licorice with whiffs of sandalwood. The palate entry is dry and lean with a mouth-coating cranberry texture. Well-focus acidity." 89 points Purely Domestic

From a standout vintage, and aged under ideal conditions, this wine is a perfect example of why patience pays off with Pinot noir.

“Just three barrels of this reserve were produced, commemorating the owners’ half century together. Spicy and tight, with the ample acidity of the 2013 vintage, its fruit suggests hard raspberry candy, with elements of peppery herb and stiff tannins. Give it extra aeration, or cellar.” Paul Gregutt

Our flagship Pinot Noir selection brings you the quintessential wine from Winter's Hill Estate: Red fruit and berry flavors and aromas supported by smooth, rounded tannins. The warm days and cool, breezy nights help the fruit ripen slowly, with freshness and structure that can age in your cellar for many years.

“The winery’s flagship selection that includes 100% estate fruit. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Persistent aromas of fresh strawberry, cranberry, blueberry, iron and mulling spices. Fresh and juicy in the mouth, with charming mid weight flavors of strawberry, raspberry and blueberry. The gossamer tannins add to the appeal as does the lengthy, lip-smacking finish. Score: 92” PinotFile.

5 bottles left

The warm red slopes of our vineyard nourish deep-rooted vines managed for low, intensely flavored yields. Only hand-picked fruit from our estate are used in our wines. Our own roots in this soil stretch from 1961 when John and Lena Winter resettled from Illinois bringing the wrought iron hinges that now grace our cellar door.

Our Watershed Pinot Noir reflects both our stewardship of the land, and the constant change and renewal that we find in wine-making and tending our vines. The small towns of Dayton and Lafayette obtain their drinking water from springs and wells in two forested parcels in the Dundee Hills. Winter's Hill Estate shares a common boundary with both of these watersheds, and that knowledge reinforces our commitment to being environmental stewards of our land and good neighbors to our community.

In January 1929, Hans & Lena Winter left their homes in Hannover and boarded a ship to immigrate to the United States. They eventually settled in the Dundee Hills of Oregon in 1961, purchasing the land we work today. We celebrate their courage and foresight as we share this wine with you. This dessert wine highlights our vineyard's ability to achieve exceptional ripeness while maintaining balance and freshness. This wine highlights flavors of honey, wildflowers and pear with a sweet finish.

Estate grown fruit and fermentation in stainless steel give us a truly exceptional value.  Rich, ripe fruit flavors and a crisp, refreshing finish.

This incredible value is mostly found in select restaurants paired with shellfish, salads, or Northwest Salmon.  It is a great introduction to the wines of Winter's Hill Estate.

Our Watershed Pinot noir reflects our stewardship of our land and the faith and commitment required to make wine.  We honor the watershed moment in 1961 when John and Lena Winter purchased the orchards and farmland that would become Winter's Hill Estate.  We invite you to celebrate your watershed moments with our wine.

Ruby-red. Deeply perfumed blackberry, cherry and floral aromas are energized by a building spicy note. Silky and open-knit, offering nicely concentrated red and dark fruit flavors that show no rough edges. In a highly appealing style, with a long, spice-laced finish that echoes the berry and floral notes. There's solid value here.”- Josh Raynolds  90 points Vinous August 2020

This Rosé was fermented in French oak to give the wine more flavor and complexity. The wine pops out of the glass with notes of cherry, watermelon, fresh flowers, lime zest and a hint of toast. The flavors are bright and fresh cherry, lime, orange zest with a hint of minerality. The wine finishes with mouthwatering acidity, and a hint of tannins from the oak barrels.

Magnum is 1.5L or 2 bottles of wine.
