Cristom MT JEFFERSON CUVEE Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2022 750ml
James Suckling | A lively, precise and well-composed pinot with notes of sour cherries, red currants, crushed roses and mild spices on the nose, followed through to a medium body with bright acidity. It’s crisp and spot-on, with succulent wild berries at the center and verve throughout. (2022).
Vinous | Wildly exotic, the 2022 Pinot Noir Mt. Jefferson Cuvée captivates with its seductive blend of dried flowers, incense, rosemary and dried strawberries. This is wonderfully fresh, nearly crunchy in feel, with stimulating acidity offsetting its tart red fruits and hints of sour citrus that pucker the cheeks. The 2022 finishes with youthful tension, lightly structured yet cooling and fresh, leaving suggestions of tart raspberry. About 52% whole cluster fermentation. (2022).
Penner Ash Chardonnay Willamette Valley 2021 750ml
Reviews:
James Suckling writes: Aromas of lemon pith, pear skin, white almond and yogurt. Medium- to full-bodied with vivid acidity and a polished texture. Some chalkiness to it. Pleasant and satisfying, with a flavorful finish. Drink now. - James Suckling 90
Audrey Frick writes: The deep yellow 2021 Chardonnay Willamette Valley is ripe with aromas of wet stone, fresh pineapple, and lemon rind. Lush, rounded, and full-bodied, with a creamy texture and hints of almond nuttiness and honeycomb on the palate, it’s in a good spot now and should hold up well over the next 4-5 years. Drinking 2023 - 2028. - Jeb Dunnuck 91
Tim Fish writes: Vibrant and floral, showing pretty flavors of lemon and pear accented with honeysuckle and spice notes. Drink now. - Wine Spectator 92
Notes of apple and ripe pear mingle with woody spice. Citrus zest and a touch of oak give this wine a balance of acid and sweetness creating weight and length in the finish. Winemaker Description.
Erath Pinot Noir Oregon 2021 750ml
Audrey Frick of Jeb Dunnuck writes | The 2021 Pinot Noir Oregon is composed of 60% fruit from the Willamette Valley, 40% fruit from the Umqua Valley, and a bit from the Rogue Valley. It pours a transparent medium ruby and is forward with somewhat primary and juicy aromas of ripe red berries, crushed flowers, and a hint of forest spice. Easy-drinking and medium-bodied, it lifts cleanly off the palate and is straightforward, with a lot of charm for early drinking. Bottled under screw cap.
90 Points Wine & Spirits Magazine | This is a steal for the way its savor and black cherry collide on the palate. It starts off with an herbal riff on cut-leaf tobacco. The tannins are firm and a touch furry, but the wine’s acid buoy the flavors into a bright burst on the finish.
Wnemaker Notes:
The warm growing season offers decadent aromas of boysenberry and dark cherry with layers of jasmine and fresh herbs helping to maintain freshness. An Oregon icon, this wine achieves the perfect balance between delicate and playful.
Blend: 97% Pinot Noir, 3% Syrah

Vibrant red fruit, floral pastille and exotic spice flavors show sharp focus, and a hint of earthiness emerges with aeration. Finishes juicy, gently sweet and very long, displaying resonating spiciness, well-knit tannins and lingering florality. 35% whole clusters. Drinking 2022 -2029. - Vinous 93
Erin Brooks writes: Medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Pinot Noir Hyland Vineyard opens slowly to powdered sugar, crushed strawberries and raspberries, loads of floral aromas and nuances of earth and blood orange.

94 James Suckling | Notes of dried apples, glazed lemons, orange curd, roasted almonds and crushed stones. Hints of dried lemon peel, too. Full-bodied and broad yet it is delicate with impressive fresh acidity. Incredible minerality here with a touch of zestiness at the end. Lingering finish. Drink or hold.
