"Husband and wife team Stewart and Athena Boedecker couldn't agree on what style of Pinot Noir to make. She likes rich and muscular; he wants delicacy and refinement. So they make two Pinot Noir Blends, both outstanding and in decent quantities. They also cost less money than many comparable Oregon wines."

Smooth and focused, with lovely blueberry, currant, raspberry and spice flavors that glide easily over a bed of fine-grained tannins, lingering on the open-textured finish. Drink now through 2016. 50 cases made. –HS |

Solid, vivid and impressively focused. A juicy mouthful of cherry, pomegranate and spice flavors that rocket through the long finish, nicely supported by unobtrusive tannins. Has power with grace. Drink now through 2014. 50 cases made. –HS |

Silky, elegant and appealing for its juicy raspberry, spice and cream flavors, lingering enticingly on the shapely finish. Drink now through 2014. 500 cases made. –HS

-4/09 2006 Athena Pinot Noir - 91 pts [best buy]
Blended from Shea, Momtazi, and CGV, this big-boned pinot has a scent of black cherries macerating in brown sugar. It's generous and broad, yet remains persistent and balanced. A year in the cellar will give the structure a chance to knit, or open now for roast pork. 4/09 "Pinot Noir: Year's Best"
- 2006 Stewart Pinot Noir - 90 pts [best buy]
This is pinot in an extracted style, leading with mocha and plum and given some contour by an earthy texture. Its forward fruit will appeal to those who like their pinots big, and would pair well with garlic-roasted chicken. 4/09 "Pinot Noir: Year's Best"

2005 Stewart Pinot Noir was featured in Episode #496 of Gary Vaynerchuk's Wine Library TV. Thanks Gary! The response was so great that we are now sold out of the 2005 Stewart Pinot Noir at the winery.
