Trajet Reserve Pinot Noir |
This reserve uses 95% whole cluster fermentation and native yeast, yielding a fascinating and polished wine loaded with ripe cherry fruit. Strong scents and flavors of caraway rye distinguish it as it retains a sharp focus through a long finish. |

Aubichon Cellars |
Reserve Pinot Noir |
A subtle wine, this opens with mixed tart berry fruit bolstered with ripe, lemony citrus. It's balanced through the middle, and finishes with a lively, tangy burst of acidity. Drink now with a rich salmon steak, or cellar for a few more years. |

Le Cadeau |
Pinot Noir "Red Label" |
This red label cuvée is made exclusively from estate grown fruit. It competes successfully with Le Cadeau's pricier cuvees, offering exceptional value. Strawberry jam, raspberry pie and a light suggestion of graham cracker combine in a flavorful, full-bodied wine. Tannins add a touch of black tea to the finish. |

Cote Est Pinot Noir Willamette Valley |
This relatively cool, east-facing site ripens to a burst of raspberry flavor, with a streak of cola. Tannins have a dusty character, and theres a gentle touch of tanned leather. |

Rocheaux Pinot Noir Willamette Valley |
Sourced from a center crest block that's a 50-50 mix of Pommard and Dijon 777, this sculpted young wine sets its crisp berry fruit in a bed of mineral. It remains clean and fresh through the finish, and should age nicely for up to a decade. |

Lumos Wine Co |
Temperance Hill Pinot Noir Willamette Valley |
At the moment, this falls on the tannic side, with astringent flavors of dried tea leaves over wild berry fruit. It's compact and will need more bottle age and/or aggressive aeration to unwrap a bit further, but it's worth the wait for its compact complexity. |

Jolete Wines |
Columbia Valley Pinot Gris |
Appealing aromas of freshly cut yellow apple and melon lead to full-feeling, plentiful pear flavors. The sense of texture heightens the appeal. |

Keuka Spring Vineyards |
Gewurtztraminer |
A perfumed nose of rose, ginger and melon starts off this powerful single-vineyard Gewurztraminer. The palate is broad in feel, fleshed out by flavors of creamy melon and potpourri, with gentle pithy tones of lemon ring providing astringency. A healthy vein of acidity helps carry it along to a lengthy, spicy finish. |

Alain Brumont |
Chateau Montus Madiran |
This powerful wine comes from the spectacular terraces of the Montus vineyard. Concentrated and dense, it offers an impressive array of black-fruit flavors that are solid and focused. The wine needs many years for those tannins to soften a little (they will always be there). Drink from 2023. |
