OFFER EXTENDED: PROJECT M WINES: Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling

In for the Zone 6 pack!

After I tasted through 11 of the wines {see post #8 above}, it was easy to conclude, this is a spectacular producer that merits consideration for their wines across the board.

Many of my friends and I purchased some from the initial offering and although I am cellaring mine, everyone else has raved about them after opening them. They are so approachable now and also have the structure to warrant long term cellaring= 7-10+ years minimum IMHO.

If you are looking for balanced wines that have elegance and charm and also some energy and layered depth, these are for you.

Thanks Blake. We work really hard at developing structures that can stand the test of time but don’t require it. I’d also add we have a similar focus with food; wines that compliment food but don’t demand it.

Great. Keep us posted on what you think!

You may not find another winemaker trying to use their noodle more than Jerry, and I mean that in a good way.

Took a leap into the rieslings. Only have ever had German before.

I had the opportunity to work alongside Jerry for a year or two and he’s one of my favorite people in the valley. Whip-smart, straight-forward as you’ll ever find and one hell of a winemaker. Buy! Buy! Buy!

So I just opened the 2019 Pinot Noir ‘Personify’ that I purchased on Newbie Day, and I am smitten after just a couple of sips. The fruit is definitely forward, but there is so much more going on from floral to earth, and just the right amount of tannin to hold all the elements in place. I was already a fan of the Project M Rieslings, and now it’s another piece of evidence that there are Pinot Noirs in Oregon that really resonate for me.

Now about shipping to Connecticut…

Thanks for the feedback. We view Riesling and Pinot Noir as the white and red grape most capable of the things we like to drink and make. Purity, precision elegance and transparency.

[David_Bu3ker]

I would agree with your assessment!

Tasted these (& posted notes in my barbaric style) for Newbie Palooza. Blake Brown did much better notes in the same thread. Definitely recommend these wines!

What’s the aging potential on the rieslings?

What’s the aging potential on the rieslings?

I had my last bottle of the 2016 in 2021, and it still had upside potential.

What’s the aging potential on the rieslings?

Good question. I recently had a 2011 from the same vineyards made by me for another winery. Still plenty of life left. The 2016 is starting to show some of the ‘valve oil’ notes but still has plenty of stone and fruit.

[Marcus_Goodfellow]

Most well made Oregon Rieslings will age a decade or two effortlessly. And Jerry’s are very well made.

I’ve had Elk Cove Rieslings from the mid-70s that were delicious and not tired at all in 2010(35+ years under cork).

Shoot. One more question: How much petrol is on the nose?

[Marcus_Goodfellow]

I’ve said this before, but Jerry has been making wine a long time. His wines show the deft touch that comes with experience. His resume is top notch and the wines he’s making now are elite wines at a remarkable value.

I even told somebody to hire Jerry.
