98+ points Jeb Dunnuck: "A bright, energetic wine, the 2024 Pinot Noir Durant Vineyard resonates with remarkable purity, offering framboise, violets, sweet tea, sweet orange, and silky tannins. Sourced from old vines, it has extraordinary length, crystalline salinity, and remarkable depth despite its elegance. Nothing here feels lean. Drink over the coming 20 years or more."

Kelley Fox: I’m excited to offer you my third bottling of Durant Vineyard Pinot Noir! This is old vine, self-rooted Pommard planted in 1974 and 1984 from the South Bishop Block. Historical Dundee Hills fruit with all of the inimitable character that comes with it.

The Durant 2024 is a shining, transparent, and faceted youthful pure red. It has the classic Dundee Hills nose of perfectly ripe Hood strawberries and subtle warm spices, soft minerals, and a hint of sassafras. The mouth is full of rich, red strawberries with the classic Durant sappiness and gorgeous weight. The finish is fine and utterly delicious. The Durant has the energy of early summer and is full of life. As I write every year, there should be a tarot card with a picture of this early summer queen all surrounded by Oregon strawberries and bluebird skies with puffy clouds and the feeling of building abundance.

Our Wine Advice

Life's too short to drink bad wine.

We taste as much or more Oregon wine in a given year than anyone on the planet. We look for the needles in the haystacks, the wines you won't find in your local wine store. Wineries have long sought our help to sell their most limited, unique bottlings.

We are picky. We like to sell wines that we like to drink. We prefer to taste the wines sell over several days; we want to know how a wine will evolve, how it pairs with food. We want to know if it truly belongs in your cellar, in your glass, and we want to provide you with guidance on how and when it'll be its best.

Our goal is to describe wines in ways that you can actually relate to. We battle against overly flowery tasting notes. You know the kind. The ones that mention things that no one has ever smelled or tasted. They're mostly B.S. and they perpetuate snobbery that we don't like.

We give you the unfiltered truth about a wine. We believe wine isn't one-size-fits-all. We get to know your tastes and preferences so that we can recommend the right wines for you.

Testimonials

★★★★★

Avalon is a gem. The wine selection is both excellent and expertly curated. Better yet, Marcus and Andy invest the time to get to know their customers personally. So their recommendations fit you like a well-tailored suit (just more reasonably priced!).

Marcus and Andy's knowledge of the wines, wineries and winemakers of the area is encyclopedic and, in my experience, second to none. They have a comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of the industry and a knack for recommending wines that are 'in my wheelhouse,' but also the insight to direct me toward new discoveries. I wholeheartedly recommend them to both those in the know and those who would
like to be.

Andy and Marcus only sell wines they would drink themselves, they sell them at reasonable prices, and they take exceptionally good care of their customers. Ethics, value, service…the reasons we buy all our wine from Avalon.

These guys do an outstanding job of sourcing great wines at terrific prices. Their reviews are fun to read and quite on point without all of the nonsense. Whose ever tasted squirrel dung or asphalt anyway? Get on their email list and savor the experience; then tell a friend. That's how I became a dedicated customer of Avalon Wine.
