Both the 1994 Pinot Noir Flat Block Reserve and 1994 Pinot Noir Southeast Block Reserve are more structured, larger-scaled wines than the 1994 Estate Pinot Noir and the 1994 Pinot Noir First Release, but only by a degree. It would be almost impossible to pick them out as Oregonian in a blind tasting of top red Burgundies. Compared to the Estate bottling, the fruit character moves more toward the black fruit that one finds in the Cote de Nuits rather than in Cote de Beaune. They are full-bodied, seamless, rich, layered, lusciously-textured wines that have just begun to open and develop. Both wines will benefit from another 1-3 years of bottle age and evolve exceptionally well for a decade or more. I kept going back and forth trying to decide whether I had a preference for one over the other, but I could not make a choice - they are both that compelling rich, complete, and satisfying. Bravo!Bethel Heights has become one of Oregon's leaders, and why not? Their Pinot Noirs are among the sexiest and most compelling made in Oregon. There are generally four offerings, an early bottled First Release, and a trio of estate offerings, the Beaune premier-cru look-alike Estate, and the Flat Block Reserve and Southeast Block Reserve, two single vineyard wines that take the seduction and magnetism of the Pinot Noir grape to even loftier heights. The 1994 First Release and Estate Pinot Noirs have been released.Tel. (503) 581-2262
