Matello ‘Souris’ Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2011 750ML ($64.95) $54.50 special, 36 bottles in stock now If that wasn’t enough we also have small amounts left of his Syrah as well as his Chardonnay bottlings from various sites. 2011 Pinot Noirs from the Willamette Valley are among the most acid driven and long lived in the past decade or more, with many more years still left in their bottle age trajectory. If you haven’t tried Marcus’ wines with some age, well, now’s your chance to grab some winery-cellared releases. These are wines that speak with an Oregon voice, but the tannin and acidity comes from an old-world point of view. Oregon Pinot Noir is often grouped into “Heavy or Light” but Goodfellows iterations defy this categorization by walking the middle road between both camps. There’s a clear house styling that’s evident across the bottlings which include some of the best appellations in the Willamette Valley including the Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge and Eola-Amity. We love them for their coiled power and Burgundian structure. These are profound wines, both white and red, that are made in a style that’s distinctly savory-no fruit bombs here.
He founded Matello wines, his original label, in 2002 and hasn’t looked back, making wines that have continually improved-both in bottle and from vintage to vintage. Marcus Goodfellow is one of the most talented winemakers in Oregon.
