Amalie Robert Estate White Wines
Sunshine yellow in the glass leads to an intense expression of the chardonnay grape, complemented by ginger root zest and a hint of French tarragon. The palate texture is rich with a lime-kumquat mélange providing a drenching palate experience. Bracing acidity cleanses the palate leading to a lip-smacking and lingering afterglow.
Our Muse is Estate grown Viognier. This variety is at first lush and playful. Richness on the palate leads to a sense of enchantment. Lest you be confused, Our Muse is at the same time stiff in the spine and not to be taken whimsically.
Amalie Robert Estate Red Wines
iPinot is our way of connecting Amalie Robert Estate directly with savvy internet consumers. The 2009 vintage is our first offering of iPinot. The production is a very small 500 cases. These barrels of wine were intended to be part of our “Hers and His Reserves” – Amalie’s Cuvée and Estate Selection. Instead, we took those barrels of wine and blended them together to create iPinot.
Vivid red. Cherry black raspberry and sassafras on the fragrant nose. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering juicy dark berry and bitter cherry flavors and exotic spice and floral pastille qualities. The spicy note adds bite and cut to the long, energetic finish. Elegant for the vintage but not short on depth or flavor intensity. 91 points - Josh Raynolds - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/August 2011 Best Buy - Wine & Spirits Magazine, June 2011 Double Gold - Oregon Wine Awards, May 2011
Light, bright red. Seductively perfumed, expressive aromas of dried red berries, allspice and cinnamon, with a slow-mounting floral quality and a hint of blood orange. Light in body but potent, offering sweet redcurrant and raspberry flavors that stain the palate. An intense spicy overtone carries through the nervy, mineral-driven finish. Lots of flavor intensity here but there’s zero fat on this wine. 92 points - Josh Raynolds - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/August 2011 Double Gold - Oregon Wine Awards, May 2011 Top 100 of 2011 - Wine Enthusiast, December 2011
Bright red. Sexy, spice-accented aromas of red berry preserves, potpourri and sandalwood, with a touch of cola in the background. Shows very good intensity and sweetness, offering lithe raspberry and cherry flavors and a hint of bitter blood orange. Closes on a spicy note, with excellent clarity and persistent sweetness. 92 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/Aug 2012
2009 Wadenswil Clone Pinot Noir Bright red. Heady, exotic aromas of candied red fruits, sandalwood, lavender and rose. Juicy, sweet and focused, offering fresh raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that put on weight with air. Shows an array of spice and floral qualities on the finish, along with notes of candied raspberry and bitter rhubarb. Wild stuff, and balanced to age. 93 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/Aug 2012
This vivid red has an ethereal perfume suggesting spice notes of bergamot, violets and black tea. The flavors of wild strawberry contrast savory olive and bay laurel scents, the finish as complex as it is attractive. Year’s Best Pinot Noir - 93 points - Wine & Spirits, April 2011 Double Gold – Oregon Wine Awards, May 2010
2008 Amalie’s Cuvée Pinot Noir Earthy and savory, this has beguiling woodland scents along with rosehip tea and lemon peel. While the aromas are complex, the cherry jam and vanilla flavors feel broad. Cellar to serve with roast salmon. 91 points – Wine and Spirits Magazine, October 2011 Double Gold - Oregon Wine Awards, May 2011
2009 Amalie's Cuvée Pinot Noir Vivid red. Exotically perfumed bouquet of candied red fruits, Asian spices, potpourri and cola. Pliant, sweet and light on its feet, offering intense raspberry, cherry and rose pastille flavors along with notes of star anise and blood orange. Finishes silky and long, with resonating floral nuances and excellent focus. 92 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/Aug 2012 91 points - Wine Advocate, August 2012
Vivid red. Exotically spiced red berry and cherry aromas are complicated by notes of cola, sassafras, star anise and cinnamon. Juicy, impressively precise red fruit flavors are framed by silky tannins and lifted by a zesty suggestion of blood orange. Fine-grained and lithe, leaving sweet red fruit and candied floral notes behind. This sexy wine is drinking very well today but is balanced to reward another five years of aging. 91 points - Josh Raynolds - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/August 2010 Double Gold – Oregon Wine Awards, May 2010
2008 Estate Selection Pinot Noir This juicy pinot exhibits bright strawberry scents, a dark red earth note and a hint of allspice. The flavors are assertive and brisk, the acidity pushing the wine like wind on a sail, the tannins firmly keeping the wine in line. Its tight construction suggests a long life. Cellar then serve with duck. 93 points – Wine & Spirits Magazine, October 2011 Year's Best Pinot Noir - Wine & Spirits, April 2012 Double Gold - Oregon Wine Awards, May 2011
2009 Estate Selection Pinot Noir Bright medium red. Sexy, intensely perfumed aromas of strawberry, cherry, potpourri and spicecake, with a hint of blood orange in the background.. Bright and taut on entry, then sweet and fleshy in the mid-palate, offering seamless red fruit preserve flavors and a hint of candied rose. Shows strong spiciness and floral character on the finish, which lingers with impressive persistence and clarity. 92 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/Aug 2012
Limpid red. Bright strawberry, raspberry and Asian spices on the nose, with a seductive note of potpourri that gains strength with air. Sappy, spicy, attractively sweet red fruit flavors are energized by tangy blood orange and white pepper nuances, with a note of medicinal cherry adding grip. Plays deep cherry off tangy strawberry on the finish, which is precise, lively and very long. This will age on its energy and balance. 93 points - Josh Raynolds - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/August 2010
Bright ruby-red. Seductive aromas of raspberry, Asian spices, potpourri and blood orange, with a note of white pepper adding lift and vivacity. Dry, nervy and very precise, offering tangy red fruit and floral pastille flavors and showing no excess fat. Seamless and pure on the finish, which lingers with outstanding tenacity and echoing spice and floral notes. 93 points - Josh Raynolds - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/Aug 2011
Electra red opens a portal into your Pinot Noir sensory cortex. The heady aromas meander through sandalwood, Chinese five spice, and tart red raspberry preserves that are punctuated with dried sage and bitter cocoa. The initial flavors are rich and dense, testing your patience until they bloom with a permeating texture into dark cherry and freshly tilled damp earth, buttressed with firm stem tannin and precision acidity.
Satisfaction Syrah is 100% Amalie Robert Estate grown Syrah. Among our 30 acres of Pinot Noir, we have planted 0.80 acres (1,188 vines to be exact) of Syrah. This planting represents 4 clones selected for the cool Northern Rhône area of Côte Rôtie, and now Dallas, Oregon.
A quick word about the Amalie Robert Estate vineyard that produced the current Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Viognier wines. Our plantings cover 30 acres. Those 30 acres are divided into 34 blocks to capture specific micro-climate and soil differences. All blocks are planted at 1,452 vines per acre and employ a Vertical Shoot Positioned (VSP) trellis. We believe the decision of when, and how much, to irrigate is so important that we leave it to Mother Nature. Our fruit is always harvested by hand. In researching the varieties to plant we learned a great deal about “clones.” Clones are much like our relatives, we are all just a little different, but the same family. Think of any team, from sports to “Survivor”, where everyone has different strengths. everyone contributes something that makes the team more successful. So it is with winegrapes. Some clones develop sugars before others. Some produce smaller berries. Some contribute exotic flavors, some do not. They each have unique qualities that can contribute to a great wine when blended together, or sometimes they can stand alone. We graft these clones onto several different Phylloxera tolerant rootstocks that match the soil profiles in each of our blocks. Rootstocks vary in the vigor they impart to the vines. They explore the soil and transport the character of our site into the grapes and wine. Amalie Robert wines may be ordered directly from the winery and are also available in California, Connecticut, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Washington D.C.
