Pinot Gris Rogue Valley |
A pear and wet slate aromatic combination is flanked by traces of rosemary and lemon peel. The wine’s acidity is restrained, making for an almost creamy texture. The flavors are a mix of banana and lemon balm tea, with a slightly metallic note on the finish. Pour chilled on your next hot summer evening. Best Buy. |

Eola Hills Wine Cellars |
Pinot Noir Willamette Valley |
This lighter-bodied Pinot Noir offers a perfume of dusty roadside raspberries and dried rose petals to catch your attention. Its easygoing acidity and soft texture act as a pillow for flavors of muddled black cherries and a wee bit of fig jam. The wine’s plush tannins and moderate acidity manage to keep up with all of that fruit. Best Buy. |

Pursued by Bear |
Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley |
The black fruit aroma is a mix of tart blackberries and sweet, ripe damson plums, all backed by puffs of dark chocolate and wet concrete. Flavors like black cherry and black tea are spiced with cardamom and pepper. The wine’s acidity buzzes softly, pairing with velvety tannins to create a satiny texture. This bear is a dinner table necessity, especially if roast beef is involved. Editor’s Choice. |

Eola Hills Wine Cellars |
Pinot Gris Willamette Valley |
With its aromas of tangerines and a batch of fresh-picked carnations, this Pinot Gris is like aromatherapy in wine form. The light-bodied wine’s green apple and cinnamon flavors are tart and spicy, but its acidity is softer than I was expecting. I might try this Pinot Gris with a fresh goat cheese salad. Best Buy. |

Sauvignon Blanc Columbia Valley |
The initial lemon aroma is quickly encircled by the wine’s herbal explosion of dill, fennel and fresh-cut grass notes. With tangy acidity supporting them, flavors like lemon zest and lemongrass tea rule the palate, joined by hints of guava and a bitter arugula note. A tangy mouthfeel makes this an invigorating wine to sip with fresh goat cheese and chunks of baguette. Best Buy. |

Elia Palazzesi |
Brunello di Montalcino 'Riserva' |
On the nose, earthy, cool aromas of damp top soil and coffee grinds are balanced by crunchy, barely ripe berries and just a hint of vanilla. The berries turn sweet and ripe on the palate and are joined by bergamot, before the earth tones reemerge. Acid bounces around tannins that are polished, but clingy. |

Made from organic grapes, this wine is fresh and bright, with ripe cantaloupe, guava, citrus, white nectarine and dried spice on the nose. Flavors on the palate are youthful and robust, with white grapefruit, bitter rind, thyme and sedimentary rock throughout the mouthfeel. Best Buy. |

Arnaud Combier |
Soreli ‘Vents Contraire’ |
An interesting wine with a noticeable grip on the palate, this showcases clear skin-contact influence. Notes of orange peel and poached peach give it depth, and it’s best enjoyed with food to bring out its full character. |
