Lots of red fruit — raspberry, dark cherry — plus blackberry underneath. Vanilla and cola notes, along with some forest floor earthiness. Easy to drink 7 years in. More fruit forward than other vintages I’ve had. Quite good. — 6 months ago

Delicious fruity Pinot Noir with Pat’s spaghetti ($30) at a wonderful family dinner. — a year ago
Old school Willamette Pinot that doesn’t try too hard and is better for it. Mixed berry pie on the nose which is comforting and inviting. Beautifully balanced palate, ripe raspberries with a hint of both sweet spice and forest floor, no element too showy, and a velvety smooth medium-long finish. — 3 years ago
This is hands down my favorite rose to current. It is smooth, clean and fruity, not not overly sweet. A perfect balance and wonderful chilled or room temperature. — 4 years ago
Impressive from our Oregon trip last year! 2013 is cooler vintage and this wine had density and depth of volcanic minerality. — 7 years ago
If you have the 2008 vintage, drink it now! It's running on all cylinders right now and is delightful. Earth, fruit, funk, finish, nose, palate it's all working. Ideal right now!

Estate Pinot Noir. Needs to breathe. Delicious, berry nose. Mellows with O2. — 10 months ago
Red cherry. More brick-like with old world vibes. More tart on the nose. Forest floor characteristics. — 2 years ago
The Eyrie Vineyards, Pinot Gris, from the Dundee Hills of Oregon. Vintage 2017. ABV 12.5%.
Bright citrus and tart melon and cantaloupe notes with some salinity and wet stone influences. Very refreshing and youthful.
Easy to pair with food, we have paired it with roasted bok choy, aubergine, and brown jasmine rice. It goes nicely and doesn’t compete with the tamari and sesame flavors. — 3 years ago
Still got it! Fantastic balance between lingering primary red fruits and full-on tertiary goodness: pomegranate, dried cherry, dried cranberry, mushroom, sage... if you got it, drink it! — 4 years ago
90% dark chocolate, black plum, long finish. Opens up with 20-30 minutes in the glass. — 6 years ago
In a line up with GC burgundy, blinded. Had everyone fooled. Volcanic shallow soil and young vines. Meticulous berry sorting.
Shows Oregon can produce wines of world class potential. Still a baby. Cooler vintage less critically acclaimed, but probably more aligned with burgundy lover preferences. — 7 years ago
Still the best Oregon white I've ever had. Rocking acid, nice nose, great finish. White Burgundy Doppelgänger, but at a fraction of the cost. — 9 years ago
It will get even better as it ages. $60 — 2 years ago
Very vanilla, smooth and medium body. It's got fruity nose , smooth and medium legs . Drinkable — 3 years ago
No fruit here! Just plenty of earth. Slightly skunky on the nose in the best way. 2 more in the cellar ... can’t wait to see where they go! — 4 years ago
Wow, what a bouquet, showing crushed cherry and strawberry mixed with wild herbs, yellow florals and crushed stone. It continued to open more and more over time. On the palate I found youthfully lean textures with tart black cherry, bitter herbs, zesty acidity and savory mineral tones. The finish was long hinting at bitter herbs and tart cherries. — 6 years ago
