2022 vintage notes

95 points Paul Gregutt: "Old vines done right deliver elegant, detailed, subtly layered flavors that add length and depth to the wine. Though young, this wine has an old soul, and the palate conjures up visual as well as sensory highlights. It suggests autumn leaves, berry pies, Thanksgiving turkey and the last days of fall before winter sets in. Pastry fruits, a hint of mint, brambly herbs and more highlights carry on through a smooth and supple finish."

95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "A killer value, the bright red 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard Old Vine boasts a highly complex and layered nose of spiced cherries, lifted spice, rose petal perfume, iron-rich earth, and hibiscus. Medium-bodied and tension-packed at this stage, it’s linear and coiled with great energy. Long on the palate, it’s a ton of wine for the price. It’s going to be worth holding onto and drinking over the next 10-15 years."

The Estate Vineyard, Old Vine bottling is the flagship wine of Patricia Green Cellars. We felt that it was important to maintain the quality and volume of this bottling in 2022, even at the expense of all the specialized bottlings that have earned incredible praise and accolades over the years. This wine has been the defining wine of this vineyard for two decades. Early in this bottling’s existence we may have made only 300-400 cases of it in any given vintage but as time went on and vines aged into the style that this wine encompasses we climbed to over 1,000 cases annually while still finding plenty of fruit for the Etzel Block, Coury Clone, First Vines, Wadensvil Block and the Bonshaw Block specialty bottlings. To some extent the 2022 vintage is the MOST Estate Old Vine Pinot Noir bottling ever as it literally spans the breadth of the site and includes what would essentially be “declassified” versions of those high-end, block designate bottlings. Expect all the good things this wine usually shows with a little extra gear to it..

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.
