This ubiquitous brand does a fine job with Willamette Valley Pinot. This is a spicy, peppery wine that smoothes out into a broadly flavorful middle with streaks of light cherry and caramel apple.——P.G.(3/1/2012)—— 87

Another entry into the under-$15 Oregon Pinot category, that has become rather crowded in the past year. This is a stiff, tannic wine, still knitting itself together, with vanilla cream-infused strawberry fruit, that only partially masks rather green, herbal tannins. ——P.G.(3/1/2011)—— 85
