Anam Cara Cellars, Pinot Noir - Reserve, Willamette Valley 2005

"Vivid red color. Bitter cherry and dark chocolate flavors are energized by dusty minerals and given grip by youthful tannins. Gains depth and sweetness on the sappy finish, which finishes with dark berries."

By Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 08


"The 2005 Pinot Noir Reserve was blended from only 10 barrels which consistently excelled in our tastings. The final blend was determined not only by the excellence of the individual wines, but also their ability to harmonize and add a deeper dimension to the whole. This is a deeply expressive wine, with the full ripe plum and black raspberry tones indicative of the vineyard. 213 cases."

Winery Notes

"Recommended...Appealing, pure Pinot aromas of black cherry fruit and subtle forest floor tones lead into a juicy mouthfeel of rich plum and blackberry fruitiness, with graham and cinnamon accents and soft, fine-grained tannins. The lush fruit and good structure call for pairing with a wild morel tart." Northwest Palate, July/August 2007

"This Pinot Noir has more power and structure than the bottling above and will need a few years in the cellar to flesh out. That said, it's completely fine now, with charming notes of black fruits, earth, cocoa and spice."  Rusty Gaffney: PinotFile Vol 6, Issue 36


"A pretty nose of deeply pitched dark cherry with a background hint of plum is trimmed in discreet if not invisible oak that merges into rich, full, sweet and concentrated flavors that possess good focus and reasonably good detail as well on the sappy and persistent finish where the wood resurfaces just enough to slightly sweeten the finish where there is also a subtle trace of warmth. This is delicious and fairly forward so it could be approached now with pleasure or cellared for a year or two. 88/2008+" Burghound.com, October 2007. Comments by Allen Meadows
