I was quite impressed by this producer. In particular, they are
making some nice light-style Pinot Noir.
1999 Oregon Riesling
There's a striking herbaceous note to the nose, with some
citrus/flowery notes. Fresh, bright and spicy on the palate. Very
good+
1998 Oregon Gewurztraminer
Pleasant rounded wine with rich fruit and a honeyed edge. Nice
stuff. Very good
1998 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Quite pale in colour with a muted nose and nicely balanced palate
of strawberry/cherry fruit. Good balance and attractive, but a light
style. Very good
1996 Winemaker's Reserve Pinot Noir
Quite light coloured with a spicy nose of strawberry and cherry
fruit. The palate shows notes of tobacco and a pleasant earthiness. A
restrained, balanced wine. Very good+
1997 Oregon Select Pinot Noir
Herby cherry nose leads to an attractive balanced palate. Very
good
