Firesteed 1994 Pinot Noir Reviews
94 Firesteed: With the exception of John Thomas's hard-to-find Acme, this may be the best Pinot value around. Food-friendly, fragrant, light to medium bodied, red-berry flavors.
"I" Jay McInerney, House & Garden, April 1997
(86) Firesteed Pinot Noir Oregon 1994 $10. Lithe and silky, generous with its leafy plum and berry flavors, yet easy on the wallet. Fine tannins can use until 1997. 10,000 cases made.
"Best Value Oregon Wines" The Wine Spectator, March 11, 1996
The Firesteed 1994 Pinot Noir from Oregon, which just picked up a gold medal at the Enological Society's recent festival, continues to amaze consumers for its quality. Best of all, it offers all that for about $9.50, considerably less than many of Oregon's Pinots.
"Tip of the Week" Tom Stockley, The Seattle Times, September 6, 1995
Recommended *** Firesteed Cellars: Deep colour. An excellent varietal nose with a touch of Pinot Noir perfume. Very clean palate with minerals, cinnamon and red fruit flavours."
"New World Pinot Noir 1994" Jacqueline Clavey Decanter, September 1996
Firesteed Cellars, 1994 Oregon: Dullish medium red. Toasty, spicy raspberry on the nose, along with a note of herbaceousness. Soft and rather shapeless, with little delineation of complexity. But has decent fruit for early drinking. (84).
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, March/April 1996
Distinct styles have begun to emerge, particularly with the Oregon Pinot Noirs. A perfect example is Firesteed Oregon Pinot Noir 1994 ($9.99). It has lovely aromas of strawberry and spice, focused, ample fruit, a fine, firm, berry note on the close and is an excellent value to boot.
Katherine Brewster, "Cool reds can more than take the summer heat", Akron Beacon Journal, June 12, 1996.
