2016	Le Cadeau	Merci Reserve Pinot Noir	Crafted from heritage clones of Swan, Calera and Mount Eden Pinot Noir, this offers a lush and quite lovely mix of red fruits. There's an initial streak of chicken stock, but as the wine breathes open, it turns more supple and fruit driven. Tannins are ripe and substantial, and this will drink well into the late 2020's.

2016	Le Cadeau	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.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2019-04-09
2017	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.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2019-04-09
2017	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.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2019-04-09
2017	Le Cadeau	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.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2019-04-09
2017	Le Cadeau	Diversite Pinot Noir Willamette Valley	This multiclonal selection from the vineyard's northernmost block is packed with Bing cherry and orange peel flavors. Good texture and appealing scents and details add floral highlights and a touch of Asian spice.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2019-04-09
2017	Le Cadeau	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.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2019-04-09
2015	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.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2019-04-09
2017	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.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2019-04-09
2017	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.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2019-04-09
