Thank you for your interest in Retour, we are so excited you chose to visit us.
It is with great honor and extreme pride that we unveil the highly anticipated 2009 Retour Pinot Noir. Retour showcases the essence of the vintage and has a distinct story to tell. Through its nuances, this wine will speak to you... and you will airily devour every last drop in your glass.
TASTING NOTES: An initial perfume of lavender, fragrant violets and just-plucked cherries mingle with complexities of roasted hazelnuts, black pepper and minerality. Aeration reveals glorious aromas of cassis, exotic spices, anise and blackberry blossoms.
The explosive palate leads with bright raspberries, currants, lush black fruits and citrus peel. The succulent mouthfeel has impressive weight and texture and drapes easily over its eloquent structure. Pitch perfect acidity allows this harmonious wine to really sing. Fine tannins coalesce with underlying minerality that leads to a long and seductive finish. With aeration, Retour becomes more expressive, unveiling its charming personality and is persistent in its evolution towards greater complexity. This evocative Pinot Noir was crafted to age gracefully in your cellar for many years to come.
The media has placed Retour among the best with copious accolades such as: "One of the most important labels in Oregon... Star Producer... Editors' Choice... and an Exciting Newcomer". Harvey Steiman, Editor-In-Chief of Wine Spectator declared Retour as "The Cutting Edge: One of The Top Emerging Producers" and claims the results are "impressive". On May 10, 2010, I had the honor of receiving the prestigious “Rising Star Award” from Margrit Mondavi at the Women for WineSense national organization’s 20th Anniversary Gala, (held at the Culinary Institute of America - Greystone in St. Helena). A very memorable occasion. The response to Retour from collectors, sommeliers and media writers has truly exceeded our highest expectations.
Aside from glittering reviews, it is your reply that makes Retour possible. Many of you have been an integral part of building the success and momentum with Retour. It is such a glowing recognition for all of the meticulous details, commitment and hard work that has been put into the winery. For that, I am forever grateful.
The following is a private offering to you, prior to the national release. Please note that large formats are also available upon personal request. Feel free to call or send me an email anytime. For any case purchases, we are delighted to offer complimentary shipping. Thank you for your purchase, it is deeply appreciated.
