In its second year, the Skyraider is our only estate reserve and is named after the plane our owner John McClintock flew while a Marine pilot. The 2008 Skyraider is our highest scoring wine to date, achieving a 92 in the Wine Advocate and placing first in the Northwest Wine Retrospective at Ray's Boathouse in Seattle. We expect the same, if not more, from our 2009.   We're devoting the day to the 2009 Skyraider, a barrel-select Pinot Noir with rich toffee notes and an uncanny depth of dark fruit flavors. At just 80 cases, this wine won't last long. Drop by for a taste and stay for a helicopter ride through the Dundee Hills.   As pretty as our wine country landscape is from land, the scene from the skies is truly incredible. Please call or RSVP via email if you'd like to purchase tickets.   Helicopter Ride and Flight of Wines: $60/person   The helicopter ride is a roughly eight-minute loop over the northern Willamette Valley. We've partnered with Konect Aviation of McMinnville. Rides depart and land from our owners backyard, a short walk away from the Treehouse Tasting Room.
