RESERVE YOUR RESERVE NOW!!

Announcing Carlton Hill Reserve Wine Club

Until now all our wine has been sold direct, mostly to high-end restaurants, select retailers, and to private customers. The Carlton Hill Pinot Noir Estate Reserve is not made available to the trade and therefore only sold to individual private customers. As we now have a growing number of wine enthusiasts who visit us and love our wine, we are introducing our first Reserve Wine Club! The Estate Reserve sells out very quickly. So we invite you to join the club and enjoy Carlton Hill wines throughout the year, but be sure to visit us when you are in town.

2006 CARLTON HILL ESTATE RESERVE PINOT NOIR

"Think Lauren Bacall rather than Marilyn Monroe..."

     Consistent with prior vintages from our vineyard, this wine displays phenomenal balance and structure. While the tannins are more pronounced than those found in the 06 Estate, the fruit and acidity integrate the tannins to create a nearly seamless wine. The fruit flavors, while still developing, reveal more dark black raspberry and cherry than the 06 Estate and yet subtle hints of violet and rose still emerge on the palate and nose. Exotic notes of spice, oak and caramel develop on the finish. The 2006 Estate Reserve is very much in its infancy and requires longer cellaring. It was bottled on March 18th, 2008 and, as a result, the aromatics are just beginning to emerge. So, its mystery will continue to unfold.

2006  CARLTON  HILL ESTATE PINOT  NOIR

     Certainly the most feminine wine the vineyard has produced to date, floral notes of violet and candied fruit combine with bright flavors of cranberry, and wild black raspberry. The wine has a very soft mouth feel and finishes with subtle herbal notes of wood smoke and tobacco. Consistent with prior Carlton Hill vintages, this wine is wonderfully balanced and round yet its overall structure and acidity cause the flavors to linger in the mouth well after your last sip.

2005  CARLTON  HILL  PINOT  NOIR
ESTATE  RESERVE

 

 

   I believe this wine, to be officially released over the Memorial Day weekend, is a classic Pinot Noir with great structure and age worthiness. Herbaceous, dark fruit aromatics intertwine withbright forward flavors of ripe raspberry and black cherry. The wine has a chewy quality as well, revealing meaty, unctuous flavors in a rather pronounced mid palate, with spicy notes of clove and cedar wood lingering on the finish. The additional aging in wood also gives the wine a voluptuous mouth feel along with hints of vanilla and smoke.

While this wine is still in its infancy, I’m excited!

2005 Carlton Hill Estate Pinot Noir


 

 

 

WINE ADVOCATE, NOVEMBER 2007:
“The 2005 Pinot Noir was produced from estate-grown fruit. Dark ruby-colored, it has a fragrant cedar, tobacco, and red fruit-scented bouquet. This leads to a medium-bodied Pinot with the elevated acidity and tannin of the vintage but with a broad enough band of ripe fruit to provide balance. Drink this tasty effort over the next few years while the fruit holds”.
         89 Points

     With this wine, there is a return to the black fruit flavors that were prevalent in 03. Black Currant, cassis and plum flavors combine with silky, ripe tannins to create a balanced and voluptuous Pinot Noir. The Willakenzie soils from the vineyard contribute further by adding the spicy notes of clove and cinnamon to the nose and finish.

2004 Carlton Hill Estate Pinot Noir

 

 

 

 

 

2006 NW Wine Summit
Gold Medal

     Due to the hot summer and our young grape plants, we chose to pick on September 11th.  While early in terms of traditional harvest in Oregon, the grapes rewarded us with a beautifully balanced wine with lush, ripe raspberry, cola and red cherry flavors.  Aged for a year in 30% new oak, only 280 cases of the 2004 Pinot Noir were produced. I think you all will be pleased!

2003 Carlton Hill Estate Pinot Noir

 

 

 

 

     With a year of aging, the wine has become even more elegant and balanced, with ripe raspberry and blackberry fruit flavors and aromas of dried black cherry and spice on the nose.  Both the  tannins and acids in this vintage are slightly more pronounced than those in 2002, causing the 2003 vintage to be a slightly bigger wine.  This combination should also allow this wine to withstand even greater cellar time.

Carlton Hill Pinot Review
AS SEEN ON CNN!

Yes CNN!  Our best selling Pinot Noir has literally made Prime Time!  
Owner David Polite & his wine Carlton Hill) has been featured on both CNN & New York One & they said what we have known all along!  THIS IS THE BEST $30 PINOT IN OREGON!  Only 180 cases produced from vineyards right next door to the Resonance Vineyard (one of our favorites) producing a full-bodied Pinot with tons of fruit, power & personality!  And it also has the absolute coolest label of an old time Croqueter.
