This vineyard, now 35 years old, is one of the most northern in Oregon, and abuts the eastern foothills of the Coastal Range. Consequently, it is rather austere, herbal and somewhat resinous with pine needle highlights. The fruit is tart and sharp, tasting of cranberry and wild strawberry. But the winemaking is spot on, and the wine does not overreach. The bouquet is really quite beautiful.——P.G.(7/1/2008)—— 90
