CELLAR CRAWL COLLECTION
Five renowned Oregon winemakers have tapped five Willamette Valley vineyards to create 25 unique expressions of Oregon's signature Pinot Noir — these are the wines of the Cellar Crawl. Designed to explore how soil, geology and the winemaker's approach impacts the expression of wine. In 2006, five winemaker friends — Terry and Ted Casteel (Bethel Heights Vineyard), Steve Doerner (Cristom Vineyards), Ken Wright (Ken Wright Cellars), Lynn Penner—Ash (Penner—Ash Wine Cellars) and Laurent Montalieu (Soléna Cellars) — picked fruit from the same five vineyards, with each winemaker creating their own barrel from each lot, then bottled and named it after their tasting group Cellar Crawl. Now, after three years, it's ready to be released.

A limited edition set of 25 wines, with $250 from each set sold going to the Parkinson Center of Oregon in recognition of winemaker Terry Casteel's battle against Parkinson's disease.

Mineral flavors dominate the palate with subtle Asian pear and melon notes in the background. The wine is framed by a steely vein of acidity that gives the wine persistence and a lingering finish.

2007 PINOT NOIR FLAT BLOCK
92 points, WINE SPECTATOR INSIDER "Light and silky, a gorgeous, delicate style that lets its red berry and plum fruit dance sinuously over the polished, racy frame. Drink now through 2015." H.S.

2007 PINOT NOIR CASTEEL RESERVE
Opens with aromas of black cherry, black currant, blackberry cordial and spice cake, with hints of autumnal woodsiness. Concentrated cherry flavors with piquant spice undercurrents fill the mouth. Fine grain tannins provide weight and rounded texture,and vibrant acidity gives essential structure for aging.

2007 PINOT NOIR SOUTHEAST BLOCK
Star Anise, cloves, and damp earth overlay the classic blueberry and briar of the Southeast Block. The palate displays a dense core of black cherry, balanced acidity, and the lovely round tannins we find in our whole cluster fermentations. This wine will certainly age gracefully over the next ten years, but I believe it could go much longer. Ben Casteel
