12/10/03: “Outstanding! Ankeny Vineyards 2002 Hershy’s Red Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley This vineyard in a bucolic setting near Salem long has ranked among the state’s premiere grape producers, and here’s just the latest fine wine from Joe Olexa, which he names after the family’s friendly Lab. The fruit of the Pommard Clone exudes scents of strawberry and cherry with hints of jam and stemminess for complexity. Dark fruit dominates the flavor profile with nice and light tannins that don’t overpower the fruit.” Review from Wine Press Northwest magazine.
