Bill Holloran's Le Pavillon Pinot Noir is always a Dundee Hills classic – spicy and redolent of strawberry and raspberry fruit. As usual, the 2007 model is built to improve with cellar time – a 1999 Le Pavillon Pinot Bill poured for me last summer was still fresh and delightful! – but is more than accessible enough to enjoy now with a little air. There’s plenty of concentration and depth this year, but also a silky texture and sense of transparency that I prize in great Oregon Pinot Noir. Tasted blind, you’d swear this would sell for $50 or more. Fantastic value.
“The 2007 Pinot Noir Le Pavillon Vineyard delivers a more expressive spicy red fruit perfume along with a hint of cedar. This leads to a nicely concentrated, suave Pinot Noir with good depth, potential complexity, and excellent length. It should be at its best from 2011 to 2017.”Wine Advocate 90 points
