Iterum Old Friend Quailhurst Estate Pinot Noir 2021 Review
Veteran winemaker Joe Dobbes has worked with the Qualhurst Vineyard since 2003. This specific site — that sits high in the Northern Chehalem Mountains AVA — was actually the source of fruit behind Dobbes’ first single-vineyard Pinot Noir bottling under the Dobbes Family label. Now, he works with it to make this wine for the Iterum label. It offers a savory nose with plush red fruit, herbs, and sweet spices. The palate is graceful with present, but balanced, oak influence and a seamless integration between acid and fruit.
