iPinot is our way of connecting Amalie Robert Estate reserve quality wine directly with savvy internet consumers at the lowest possible price.
iPinot is reserve quality barrels of wine selected for our “Hers and His Reserves” Amalie’s Cuvée and Estate Selection. Once the final “Hers and His Reserve” wines are blended, we have a few reserve level barrels of wine to blend. We blend these barrels of wine together to create iPinot - a reserve level wine without the reserve level price.
Selling iPinot direct, harnessing the power of the internet, is a catchy concept, Amalie Robert has also caught the attention of some influential wine critics.
"...Dallas growers Dena Drews and Ernie Pink... showed me this July three of their reserve bottlings and thereby altered my perception of their endeavors. Since these are produced in only one- or two-barrel quantities, they offer an extreme instance of a phenomenon encountered at numerous Willamette addresses, whose really exciting releases are extremely limited. But they also testify, importantly, to what is possible; and what’s possible from this site in these hands revealed itself to be extraordinary!... And what a Syrah!" - David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate - October 2013
"Dena Drews and Ernie Pink have been quietly producing some of Oregon's most elegant and perfumed Pinots since the 2004 vintage. Their 30-acre vineyard outside the town of Dallas, abutting the famed Freedom Hill vineyard where Drews and Pink live, is painstakingly farmed and yields are kept low so production of these wines is limited. Winemaking includes abundant use of whole clusters, which is no doubt responsible for the wines' exotic bouquets and sneaky structure…"

Tasting Notes: Alluring red releases a rich torrent of wild cherry, black raspberry, tilled earth, cinnamon, and cardamom punctuated by a hint of dried tea leaf. Permeating on the palate with a deep richness and persuasive acidity that continues effortlessly while refined stem tannins seal the deal on an endless finish.
Culinary Inclinations: Roasted duck legs with sautéed Brussels sprouts and pancetta aside pan roasted fingerling potatoes, morel mushrooms and polenta cakes.
