Tasting Notes

"Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. The nose is remarkably complex, offering scents of dark red and black cherry and berry, rose petal, aged leather, and turned earth. A noticeable contrast to the “Beehive” bottling, with more structure, more savory and earthy facets, less flashy fruit, and slightly more oak contribution at this young age. A very sophisticated wine that is clearly built to age. The mid weight flavors of black raspberry and blackberry are set off by notes of spice and toast and emerge slowly in the glass over time. The finish is uncommonly generous as all great wines are. When tasted several hours later, the wine was more giving, indicating that it should be decanted if drunk now, but will benefit from more time in the cellar. Still evolving when tasted from an opened bottle two days later. Enjoy this one for its complexity and longevity."

The Producer

Phelps Creek Vineyards

The President and Director of Winegrowing at Phelps Creek, Bob Morus, founded the winery with the vision of nurturing both wine grapes and a family when he relocated to Hood River in 1989. His children, who were the focus of his move, are now fully grown, and the estate vineyard, a stunning expanse of 36 acres, stands as a testament to his dedication.

Since retiring from piloting Boeing 777s in international operations for a major airline, Bob dedicates his time to caring for the vines and overseeing every aspect of production. With the newfound freedom, he also enjoys sharing stories of Phelps Creek in the newly established Tasting Room.

Alexandrine Roy, a fourth-generation Vigneron and the Consulting Winemaker hailing from Gevrey-Chambertin, joined the Phelps Creek team in 2007. Her initial goal was to craft a special cuvée from the estate's Pinot Noir. Over the years, her contributions expanded to influence all the wines produced by the winery. Despite taking the reins at her family's estate, Domaine Marc Roy, Alex continues to find time to return to Oregon and lend her expertise to Phelps Creek Vineyards.
