Awards and Recognition 

2006 Rachel Estate - 91 points - Wine Spectator, "Smooth and rich, with a sense of delicacy to the ripe blackberry, and cherry flavors, weaving spicy, toasty notes through the finish as it sails on and on.  Drink now through 2013.  - H.S."

 

The "Prince of Pinot" Rusty Gaffney, M.D. wrote in the PinotFile Volume 6 Issue 57, the 2006 Jacob and Rachel Estate wines:

"... charming in their own way and highly (that's HIGHLY) recommended." 

2006 Rachel Estate ... "Very elegant and demure with the kind of plush and velveteen texture that only great Pinot Noir can offer."

2006 Jacob Estate ... "This is the kind of wine that makes you wonder how mere grapes could ever have made such nectar."

 

Laura Volkman Vineyards wine can also be found at The Herbfarm restaurant in Woodinville, Washington. Winner of RESTAURANT HOSPITALITY’S 16th Annual "Best Domestic Wine List in America" and Wine Press Northwest's "Best Northwest Wine List"  for six years running.

"Laura Volkman burst from the starting blocks with her first release in 2004. The Pinot Noir is more Old-World than Oregon in style, with wonderful balance and sweet, earthy aromatics. Our restaurant guests sing its praises. I took a bottle to the 2006 International Pinot Noir Celebration where people regularly share world-famous bottles. Guess what? Many were stunned by this wine."

Ron Zimmerman, Proprietor

The Herbfarm
