Amalie Robert Estate White Wines

2010 Her Silhouette Chardonnay

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.

2011 Our Muse Viognier

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

2009 iPinot Pinot Noir

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.

2008 Vintage Debut Pinot Noir

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

2008 Dijon Clones Pinot Noir

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

2007 Estate Pinot Noir

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

2007 The Reserve Pinot Noir

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.

2009 The Reserve Pinot Noir

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.

2010 Satisfaction Syrah

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.
