2010 Willamette Valley. America’s Best Undiscovered Wines — "Why Pinot Blanc is hardly known and Pinot Gris is practically inescapable is a mystery beyond the scope of this column. In fact, it’s even more mysterious when you consider how good this juicy, full-bodied white is." Food & Wine (February 28, 2012)

2009 Willamette Valley. Excellent! "Few other wineries in Oregon approach this variety with as much dedication. Aromas of Golden Delicious apple, jasmine, orange blossom, lemon peel, chalkboard dust and a dab of petroleum jelly. It’s a smooth delivery of more apple, lemon chiffon and pineapple with orange pith, almond and fennel in the farewell." Wine Press Northwest (December 31, 2010)

2010 Estate. Best Buy. "Exotic aromas of lime zest, lemongrass, kumquat and minerality. On the palate, it reveals apple, lemon and grapefruit. This dry wine is loaded with bright acidity." Wine Press Northwest (June 30, 2012)

1999 : 89 Pts. "Yeasty and proper in the nose, with a hint of apple blossom. The palate features healthy fruit...and some welcome nuances of nutmeg and cinnamon... finish is dry and long. The wine delivers the full sparkling wine experience with no flaws." Wine Enthusiast (May 31, 2003)

1999 : 89 Pts. "Crisp in texture, with layers of spicy, toasty pear and mineral flavors, which echo nicely along with citrus notes on the lively finish." Wine Spectator (May 31, 2003)

2001 Del Rio Rogue Valley. Highly Recommended! "Aromas of violets, plum, and graham. Concentrated flavors of plum and cassis fruit balance youthful tannins. Intense and focused, with a long, spiced-oak finish; cellar 2-3 years for softer tannins." Northwest Palate (June 30, 2003)
