Colene Clemens Dopp Creek Pinot Noir
93 Points, Wine Spectator: “Shows pinpoint focus and taut tension framed by raspberry, blueberry, river stone and dusky spice flavors that end with medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2035.”
Bright and welcoming, Dopp Creek opens with luscious red fruit, bringing sun-ripened raspberry and juicy cherry to the forefront. Notes of blueberry, warm spice, thyme, dark chocolate-covered orange, and subtle river stone add depth and complexity, while taut acidity and medium-grained tannins provide structure and balance.
A consistently impressive Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, Dopp Creek has appeared twice on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 within a decade, firmly establishing its reputation as an exceptional value. Winemaker Steve Goff brings years of experience, including his time as assistant winemaker at Beaux Frères, to this expressive and approachable Pinot Noir.
Delicious right away, with enough structure to reward a few months or even several years in the cellar.
