Checking my blog I've reviewed or mentioned McKinley Springs nine times. Look for their wines. The Bombing Range Red label was introduced in 2005.

Stephen Lutz, Owner, Lenné. Is there a difference between good wine and great wine? There is, there is. Compare a great wine besides a good wine and the good wine may be bitter ashes in your mouth. The  2010 Lenné  Estate Pinot Noir is a great wine my friends. Seek this wine out and savor the beauty of great Oregon wine. "It was almost 5 years before we knew we'd make great Pinots."   -  Stephen Lutz  The Wednesday, 09 April 2014  #Winechat twitter wine tasting  featured the  2010 Lenné  Estate Pinot Noir .
