Bright fruit flavors of mountain berries are bolstered with steely acidity. This firm, lightly herbal wine sneaks in a hint of clover as well. It may improve with another couple of years of bottle age.

Edgy and herbal, the 2010 Reserve mixes cranberry fruit with Mediterranean herbs. There's a suggestion of black olives also, and the tangy tartness adds lift to the mouthfeel.

This is the most intractable of the winery’s 2008 Pinot Noirs, holding back in the glass and showing plenty of grip and tannin. Tight and compact, with a distinctive black pepper scent, this wine needs more bottle age. With time, the score could certainly improve.——P.G.(8/1/2011)—— 89

The sharp, unmistakable scent of new French oak barrels hits you immediately, and it plays nicely against this winery’s naturally spicy, lightly resinous style of Pinot Noir. The elegant side of Oregon Pinot Noir is also on display, partly a virtue of the winery, partly a reflection of the vintage. Though light, it is not simple, and the black raspberry and black cherry fruit is mixed with streaks of cola, anise and clove. ——P.G.(10/1/2010)—— 90

Very light and leafy, with a pale brick color and tart, tea-like flavors. Tannic and earthy, yet insubstantial, and lacking sweet fruit.——W.E.(11/1/2004)—— 84
